Sharpie marker the coolant reservoir at the current coolant level and that's all you needed to do ... or a piece of tape etc .

The garden gnomes come alive at night sneak under your hood and drink the coolant to get a buzz.

one week, not a drop! i called blackstone. no real response to potassium.
i told them i found the leak from the overflow hose under the rad cap,not in the engine. it didnt matter to them!
if theres coolant in the oil its microscopic.
i check it in the morning about the same time, cool.
