Alain,

My van does exactly as you describe.  My mechanic says my cooling system is
leak free yet I get these unexplained huge drops in coolant level in the
reservoir tank without any signs of leaking.  I just check it regularly and
keep it topped up.  The reservoir goes below min on average once a month.
Let me know if you find an answer to this mystery.
