Coolant burn/leak.
Hey guys,
I don't know if it's always been this way for i have never checked the coolant reservoir but i saw today that the reservoir had coolant level way below the minimum line. Do you think i am possibly burning coolant or it's leaving the car somehow? i have 16k miles on my 07 and the motor doesnt burn a drop of oil so i don't know what the deal is. Thanks in advance.

I suspect that you don't have a problem. If you were loosing coolant it likely would already have been a problem (overheating, fluid drips on the floor, white exhaust that sort of thing). Plus the coolant would be zero by now.
If there still is coolant in the reservoir then note the level and the engine temp. the check it at the same temp once and a while.
If it still worries you, best thing to do is put some coolant in(probably should use Honda's) to bring it up above the low level mark with the engine cool.
My 2001 had been at the min mark since new. Till this year when I changed it.
