Okay So I parked my car in the garage for the winter and didn't drive it for 2-3 weeks. My trucks lock cylinder messed up so I had to drive it this week. On day one not even half an hou of driving and my LOW COOLANT signal comes on. I topped it up a total of 5 times now and it keeps getting lower. And get this not a single drop on my garage floor. WHERE IS MY COOLANT GOING??? PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Mine comes on just before My oil changes.

It seems to loose some level inbetween every oil change. Not much but enought for the light to come on. No indication where it is going. Who knows?

Lol thats funny, least you got it Lol, yeah after my tune Mine says low coolant, i dunno Im'a look at it tomorrow, I think its just because where we took the sc off and the top radiator hose a little bit came out and that drop the coolant level, no biggy.

The car runs normally, I just wanna know where the coolant goes. I'll probably take it in to GM under warranty if it continues.

I had that problem and one day after I was driving my car for a pretty long time, I parked it in the driveway and the coolant just down pours from the radiator. After it cooled down I filled it up and it didnt leak, so I took it to the dealership asap and the tech guy told me it was a cracked radiator elbow, so they ordered one up and 2 days later was good to go.
