Default LEAK

I have a 1993 LX and for some reason I have a small leak in my resovior for my antifreeze. My low coolant sign came on and the resovior tank was low which I had just filled up two weeks ago but the radiator is full I know the sensor is in the tank but cant find a leak or wet spot.

are you refilling it with water or antifreeze? look around the water pump and also check you engine oil, make sure its not going in there

Coolant resevoir is just that..a resevoir. Loose coolant and it draws from the resevoir. That being said the coolant loss area needs to be identified. Get a radiator pressure tester. Pump up to 16 pounds. Do this while engine is cold.(makes it easier to get up close look) Have a look, see the problem and then correct the leak.
