You may have a coolant leak- but forget about it and change the oil! Otherwise we will have the Lubrication Police come and drag you away....
well it was transparent brown in the beginning and turned black in time, I guess thats normal from what I've read in other posts, or should I start worrying about that now!???

As for the coolant, I went to the stealer earlier and he told me not to worry as it was normal to lose some during the hot weather season. He just poured a bit more and that was all. He did ask me however if the OBD signal came on to which I replied that it hadn't. Now I am wondering at what point the OBD signal comes on, is it when the floating rod is at min or is it well below that level??? I appreciate any enlightenment on this matter!
