Is it normal for coolant reservoir to go down?
Once the engine cools down, the extra coolant flows back into the engine through a vacuum system. Over time, the coolant reservoir can leak, become worn, and fail because it is used on a regular basis.
Why is my coolant reservoir cold?
If the coolant is still below the “Cold” or “Full” line, this probably means that you have a leak somewhere in the system and you should get your car to an auto mechanic for further inspection. As you can see, checking and refilling your car’s coolant level is about as easy as filling your tank with gas.
What causes coolant reservoir to overflow in Toyota Camry?

Why does coolant disappear from Radiator reservoir?
Call it antifreeze, a coolant, or even radiator fluid; the purpose is to maintain the engine’s cool. There may be times when the coolant system may fail due to one reason or another. The mystery arises though when magically the coolant disappearing from reservoir is noticed with no potential signs of leakage.
