Sooo. I was just wondering of its normal or not but my the coolant in the reservoir keeps disappearing. The car doesn't overheat or anything and i dont see any leaks so i was wondering what this could possibly be or if its common?

No. There is an internal or external leak.

I picked up my S4 Koyo from these guys. Their site only shows the S5 one now, but you may be able to get the S4 if you give them a call. The filler neck on the S5 rad will interfere with the fan shroud on an S4.

I have an s5 so I'll be good I guess. Thanks for the link and the help. Much appreciated.

I poured more coolant and ran it to so if I could spot the leak. I definitely need a new radiator. No big deal especially when I found the koyo radiator for $223.
