So I guess what I'm saying is: don't chase the reservoir level after every drive; you're just wasting coolant as it must weep from the motor at some point. Personally, when the reservoir level drops below "Low," I fill to halfway and keep an eye on it. But maybe that's just my car...
That’s just your car.. if it’s leaking someplace fix it or you didn’t fully bleed it good enough and driving and heat cycling it is slowly finishing the bleed job. Should fill to the high mark and it should always come back down to the high mark when cold.
