Why is that once or every two months my car marks low coolant if it never overheats and yes it does need some but not a lot what could be the problem and how do I resolve this. Please help
I just checked the coolant it still had some :S
Broski, how are the coilovers treating you?
New strut mounts yet?
Had this problem with my girlfriends car. Is yours leaking at all? If it isn't leaking and just disappearing, then start saving up for a headgasket. Most common problem when it comes to the older 2.2's.

100% right. It could be leaking very slowly from the water pump wheep hole (had similar problem with my Escalade and it was the water pump) and it will get progressively worse. Easy way to check it is to (when the car is cold) reach down to the water pump and feel the wheep hole and see if its moist. If it is, replace the pump. Also check the thermostat housing, the hoses and such. If its just magically disappearing, check the oil on ur car if u notice any sort of coolant mix in it, then the head gasket needs to be replaced. Luckily on your car its pretty simple. Also, keep a eye on your coolant tank, see if any oil is in there, normally towards the bottom of the tank. Goodluck!!
Spalaterro the coilovers are doing ok I think the struts are giving out though. Do they still have warranty and strut mounts were installed two weeks after I got em
Slocav and sneezy thanks for the info ima check all that tomorrow or on my next day off to see what's up hopefully I don't fudge up my car
