coolant strangeness

after searching threads here and over at the other forum for "blown coolant seal" ive decided to make this thread.

lets see if this makes sense to anyone.

i first noticed this problem when noDOHC helped me finish bleeding my brakes and install my exhaust. the coolant neck was void of coolant. before that time, i had never noticed the temp gauge move much from its normal operating temp area (while running the car). now after being topped off and taken for a spin the other night, i noticed it was down some. topped it off again and repeated the process. it was down a little bit again.

im fairly sure the car isnt burning coolant, no sweet exhaust smell, unless the leak is too small to be detected my nose. also, after going for a drive and letting the car reach temp... youd think that the overflow would fill just a bit... mines been bone dry every time ive played around. curious.

now i have yet to test the things i have read about. champaign test. coolant chemical test. system pressure test. cap pressure test. am i missing anything?

just bothers me that the coolant neck was empty...
