I'm not sure if I have a leak or not. I don't see anything underneath the car after parking overnight. My car is randomly losing coolant. I fill the radiator up to the top and when I check the next day, it could be still close to topped off or almost empty. When it's almost empty, I get steam coming out when the temp gauge reaches halfway. My car usually reads 1/3 of the temp gauge when it's at running temp.
1. Should it be running at 1/3 gauage? 2. Any ideas why I am having random loss of coolant? |

just so you don't think i'm a dumbass, i asked about the gauge covers due to the fact alot of them come unglued and cause your needle not to move all the way.
