Default Coolant Leak?
So i filled up coolant last night, i check today after a short drive to school and back and my resevoir is empty! I check the radiator it self and that was full, i also checked the turbo coolant resevoir and that was full....
There was a bit of coolant under the radiator and a little bit on the fans, yet I cant find any visable cracks/leaks on the radiator, any suggestions?

Why do you suspect a leak? Because the resevoir is empty or because the little bit of coolant on the fans?

You probably aren't leaking anything. When I had a coolant leak, it was very noticeable by checking the coolant tank for the turbo......it was always low. I could also smell coolant just by walking near my car.
