so i just replaced my old radiator fluid with new one, burped it and everything. filled up the radiator up to almost full and added half a tank to the reservoir.

i checked it again and the reservoir was very low on coolant. i don't know if this is normal and leave it alone or should i give it some attention..

 

Did you replace the radiator cap? Did you check leaks from reservoir cap? After you fill up the fluid, clean the area dry. Then drive around for a bit and come back to check. If you see fluids around then you need those replaced. If not, then it's something else. Take it to the shop and do the pressure test. But do that at last when you can't find any problems.

 

hmm i did not replace the cap is it where its escaping from? ill get it checked out and see if that will fix it. thanks for your reply

 

Look for leakage around the car, the rear coolant lines etc.
If its leaking you'll see it on the ground or on engine parts.
Be patient with the burping.. sometimes it takes a bit to get the air out.

 

Bleeding the cooling system may take 20-30 minutes.

1) Park the car on an inclined driveway with the front end higher than the rear.

2) Push the dash heater lever/**** to MAX heat.

3) Follow the directions in the diagram below (hint: the bleed bolt is located where the upper radiator hose connects to the engine):
