    Coolant leak

    Better wording: I filled the reservoir to the MAX LINE. Very aware that there is an excess drain hole at the very top. I was stating this to remove that as a possible location where the leak could be coming from. Auxiliary to the reservoir: I twisted off the cap, which is good and has no signs...

I will stop for gas, or groceries for 5 minutes. Start it again, then...
