I will fill up my coolent tank to the required level and within thirty minutes of driving or less the cooling light starts blinking on the dash and the coolent level is below the minimum mark again.

I checked underneath the car and there are no signs of leaking.

This problem originated last week when I had the car running for about two hours straight and has been happening ever since.

Hi there,

Thank you for the donation,

You will have to do two checks, first is a cooling system pressure test, this will locate any minor external coolant leak, then you can do a head check, this is a simple chemical check for exhaust gasses in the cooling system, this will indicate a head gasket problem, start here.
