hi people i have a problem and just wanted some advice . got in the other day and a light popped up on the dash and my mfd saying check engine coolant level. but after about a couple of miles it went off. so i checked the level and it took a bit of water . the same happened the other day. i carnt see any water on the floor over night and it runs fine no over heating and the expansion bottle is not boiling up or pressurising so everything seems ok . sorry for the long story and spelling but and ideas will be great

Try changing the pressure cap, the spring gets weak with age & allows water to escape under pressure when the engine gets hot.
