Hi All,

This morning my coolant light did not go off after starting my van, so
I pulled over to add coolant, opened the cap, but couldn't find a
funnel so closed the cap and drove off. Coolant light went out.

A coupld of blocks later it went on again so I found a gas station,
found a funnel, and added coolant. The resevoir tank (behind the
license plate) was completely empty.

A few weeks earlier I noticed orange liquid on the rear hatch (see post below).

What should I do  now?

Chris
