Have you checked for leaks too? Maybe one of the reasons why you're low in coolant. If there is a leak, I'd check the back of the Engine for some dried up coolant residue. If there is, you might a have a coolant flange leak...

It's usually the O-ring (gasket) that's damaged. But it's best to replace the flange and o-ring together. In most cases, the flange gets damaged along with the o-ring anyway...
