Here's what's wrong:

The coolant reservoir tank sits directly above the headers.

Put a 200F source of heat next to a cup of water, and see how long that water lasts...

Don't overthink this. It evaporates, sometimes faster if you sit in traffic or otherwise heatsoak the engine bay.

As for what to put in there, any distilled water is fine. You can even mix in Subaru coolant or fill entirely with Subaru 50/50 coolant if that makes you sleep easier at night.
