Buy one bottle of the proper fluid (it's expensive) and dilute it as described on the label. Add it to the plastic reservoir and you'll be able to see through the plastic to see the level. If not, just fill it until it's about an inch below the opening. Drive it for a while and if the level drops only a little, you can just keep topping off the level until you decide to find and fix the leak. If it drops within a short time, you'll have to find the leak yourself or get help from a qualified mechanic. As mentioned in the previous posts, leaks are not normal and can be disastrous if they are not fixed. Be sure to use the proper coolant....the wrong kind will severely damage the cooling system. Don't ask how I know!!!!
