Radiator Reservoir-near empty

Guys and Gals,

I was under the impression that the radiator reservoir should be between the full and low lines......Mine is always on the low side.....I was told at my 90,000mi service that the fluid level in the radiator level will vary while I drive and that I was probably only noticing it when it was on the low side......

My radiator seems full whenver I check.....and I have no overheating problems...also no leaks noticed....

Am I just worrying too much? TIA

Add coolant to the reservoir to the "low" line while the engine is cold. It should return to that level each time the engine cools down after heat-up. Otherwise, a hard-to-find leak or headgasket problem may exist.
