Most tanks have leaked by now,mine certainly did.Sneaky leak at the back where you can't see it too..took ages to track it down,as the coolant ran down the firewall and evaporated.
Easy to fix..just add a tank. (brought one on ebay) and found a cheap good s/h one just in case.
Take it off and test the sucker is easy too. Good Luck.

Cooling system pressure test equipment is generally available for 'rent' at your local auto parts stores. Pump it up to 15 lbs and the leak source will be obvious. On two cars I have now had 5 reservoirs so it is very common problem. I tried a used one but that didn't work out well.
When you do this test do you get it up to 15 lbs and it should hold there, not go down a lb then stay there? How long should it hold pressure, until you take it off?
