I'll definitely keep an eye on it. I just filled it up so we'll see if it fluctuates with time.

I'm at 47k miles so I'm running into these maintenance type of issues it seems. :/ I'll be doing a complete flush sometime in the near future and going with blue coolant.

As an update, the reservoir is still filled to the top. I do see some greenish dry powder looking stuff around one of the radiator hoses which leads me to believe that it came out of that. Are the clamps known to be bad on the early models?

I'm thinking of replacing the hoses with silicone but I've never had overheating problems (that I can tell) so I'd like to hear your thoughts please.

Thanks
