I've got a little problem with my MS3. I just checked my coolant the other day, It's below the full line by about 1/2, and I'm starting to worry. Also, I checked the area around the coolant, and I saw some little green marks from coolant being dried. What should I do about this leak, which doesn't seem to be leaking anymore??

It's only another 1000 miles until my next oil change, and I don't really want to go to the dealer when the oil change is so close.

Any ideas??

 

My first thought would be that the coolant cap wasnt on securely enough, if theres coolant on the jug...but you didnt say where the dried coolant was. If that was the case....once the coolant got warm enough it would seep out through the top, and if you don't think its leaking now it might be low enough to where it doesnt seep out when it expands from heat. As long as you monitor the level in there and keep it full, you could wait until your oil change...Just make sure you keep the level full and keep an eye on it when you drive.

 

I've been checking it once per day, but not opening the container.

The coolant was on the bottle, and on the part next to it, which is a little metal thingy.

 

I would make sure the cap is secure now, maybe it was a little loose before and it seeped out...I honestly can't think of any other reason it would be on the jug other then it coming out of the cap...but I could be wrong.
