Subject:Re: No Coolant in Small Tank Behind License Plate
From:Donna Skarloken

Update:  I could not find any coolant leaks.  I talked to my mechanic who
told me to simply add distilled water to the license plate tank and keep an
eye on it.  It seems fine (I overfilled last night like a dummy however).

So far so good; I thank everyone for your help as I was in a bit of a
panic.  My mechanic wants me to stop by and he'll take a look at everything
so when I get a chance I'll do that.
