Keep filling it up. It may just be that as coolant circulates and moves, the air pockets in it keep escaping, and there appears to be less coolant. Do it like 5 or 6 times. Start it, let it run, add coolant, see if it goes down at all, and if it does, add more. This is assuming that you have no coolant leaks.

Since evans expands and contracts a lot more then conventional coolant it may be one of the causes. But if you have to keep filling it up then you probally have a leak. Can you smell coolant when you go to start it...or do you see any puddles underneit the car?
