Running cold -- check your thermostat.  Coolant level drops -- either the
system was not purged of air previously and the coolant air bleed ring around the
engine bay is actually doing its thing, or else, you do have a leak.  Fill
and bleed the system properly then run it for a while to see where you are at.
