Welcome to the forums Dr_Vitez. Hope you enjoy it here. As for your question, couple questions: when you change oil, are you noticing any coolant in your oil (hope not)? And when you park your car after driving it for a while, do you notice any puddles of coolant? There often times is a puddle of water form the condenser, that's nothing to worry about, but if you see pink or green fluid leaking I'd get it checked out. Also, what is your operating temp? Your temp needle shouldn't go past about half way. And finally, when you add fluid to your reservior, are you adding water or coolant?
