I keep having to add coolant to the resevoir as it keeps running low. I have checked for leaks and could not find any. I checked the oil and there is no coolant in the oil nor is there any steam/white smoke coming from the exhaust? What could it be????

Hi there,

You will need to get a cooling system pressure test done as this will locate any external leaks, also have the pressure cap tested, start here.
