My coolant resevoir seems to always be empty every few weeks, theres no visable leaks and the oil is clean. I had the headgasket replaced when my head was pulled for cams so I know thats not the problem. Is it normal for it to go empty that frequent?

 

Definately not normal to be empty every few weeks. Probably leaking from somewhere. Does your engine bay for have a sweet smell which is the tell tale sweet smell of leaking antifreeze. Probably a leaky hose or radiator.

If you have a leaky head gasket, sniff your exhaust gas for the same sweet smell of antifreeze. Another place to look is your oil, look out for a milky tinge which indicates a leaky head gasket.

 

no engine bay dosent smell, oil looks clean and exhaust smells normal. I can't figure it out, the car runs fine and never overheats, i guess its fine

 

I have 60,ooo miles and i never added one drop ... opps I did change the thermostat once but reused the coolant

Mine did this for a while, not sure I did a great job in bleeding the cooling system.

Good luck.

there shouldn't be any loss.. do a cooling system pressure check according to service manual, that should narrow down to where its leaking
