More problems, coolant overflow not working?

Odd thing is no coolant leaks, no white smoke at all, nothing like that. The only place I could think of a leak would be the lower radiator hose. It's a bit old, probably the original.

It doesn't burn coolant or over heat though.

I would doubt a coolant seal failure because the engine has not even 15k and was broken in right.

Two spots to check. If you have S4 check under the intake manifold. There is a hose that runs between the upper and lowers sections. It can pop and you will nevver find that leak. Drove me nuts to find it one time. The second one is the heater core hose. It is right under the oil filter up to the firewall. That one will always fail every so often due to the oil weaking it.
