SUp guys, being new to SC's, i recently gave my car an oil change and when i checked the radiator fluid, it was like there was nothing there, the coolant tank was full, my car isnt making any wierd smells or acting up, but i was wondering if it was a normal thing? or should i put some coolant in my radiator?! so yea any knowledge you fellas can help me with it would be great!

You have a worn out thermostat.

Replace the theromostat, radiator cap, and flush the radiator fluid and resevoir.

If the reservoir level is not changing, but the radiator level is low, it means (obviously) the system isn't drawing from the reservoir when it should. This is usually because the radiator cap isn't holding enough pressure. Follow what "pcmw" said, and that should fix your problem.

When you say no coolant in the "tank", do you mean nothing in the radiator itself, or nothing in the overflow vessel? Was the engine warm or cold?
