    Spring coolant top up

    coolant loss of some kind is not something that should be alarming, even the owners manuals typically state something about topping off coolant with 50% mix to avoid diluting etc etc. But its not something most of us will experience to a signfiicant degree. all your vehicle has to do is overheat...
