Well its leaking from everywhere else(rear end, transmission, engine, power steering lol) so I might as well check that too.

Yeah it's still just sitting in the drive way until the weather gets warmer. I guess I will top it off when I go to drive it in a couple weeks and see what happens. Now to top it off is it best to start the car with the cap off and wait for the thermostat to kick in and fill it to the top or what? I don't recall this car ever having coolant in the overflow.
