Ive lost more coolant today. around 1L, back to the pre-topup level. Sitting between min and max right now. Will check again for leaks after tmr's drive. If air was in the system from topup, the coolant level should not go any lower than this point, am I correct?

after a short drive and parking the car for a short period of time. The next time I start the car, my engine compartment fan ALWAYS goes on full blast, does any of your cars do this?
While it was on full blast, I also smelt coolant from the passenger side vent, where the engine fan blows out of. What does this mean? Normal or another sign its the water pump going?

I remember when my water pump went on my BMW, the engine compartment fans went on full blast trying to cool the engine..

edit: how much condensation above coolant cap on rear trunk lid is deemed to be normal. Is it even possible to lose 1L of coolant just through the cap?
