Coolant reservoir empty not overheating
Straight to the point i noticed my reservoir was empty so I put coolant in the radiator and then added coolant to the reservoir to the max line, drove to my friends house which is about 10 minutes away checked the reservoir and boom no coolant, no sign of any spillage on the radiator. Car still runs fine, not overheating. Help please, stock d16y7.

Bleed the coolant system.
Turn car on, remove rad cap wait till the cooling fan comes on atleast twice, squeeze the top rad hose to make sure all the bubbles are gone, then turn car off. Top off the rad and reservoir. Then put a piece of cardboard under the rad area wait a few hrs, then look for leaks.

Make sure your reservoir is not busted at the cap like mine is.
Otherwise, mine mostly does same thing. Spits out some whenever I fill reservoir halfway...
