My coolant reservoir is empty in two weeks after I add it full, tho my radiator is new. My engine does not appear to be overheated cause the temperature gauge does not pass the half mark. What's the cause it? What should I do?

Thank you

Thanks. In additions to the empty coolant reservoir, opening the radiator cap revealed no visable fluid. The radiator is like only a month old. So Where do you think it might be leaking? Or some people may just say it is a result from a bad radiator cap?

Thanks

There are hundreds of spots it can leak from. You need a shop to pressure test the system and give you a bid.
