Coolant reservoir really low

Just wondering if anyone else has this problem? Ive never changed or added to it but im guessing it just gets that way? its almost empty and Ive noticed my bros 2.0 SC was doing the same thing. I doubt its any issue as I have other vehicles that do the same thing,guessing it just burns off after time?

Replace the reservoir cap and see if it goes away. The seal can crack and leak.

yeah you probably should have flushed the fluids by now at least once I would flush the coolant and put in new.

hmm didnt realize that...Im just reading 31,000 mi on the odometer. I guess I'll have to get that done soon,should I just go ahead and add a little dexcool to the reservoir for now?

Also just to add to this,my car has ALWAYS ran around 189-196 normal when driving and sitting at a red light on a 100+ day it gets to 218-220 before the fans kick on but its done that for as long as I can remember.
