Default losing coolant

ok i have just replace my upper replace radiator hose on my 93 z28 camaro and flush the radiator. i did bleed the stsyem out. but it seems like everytime i fill my car up with coolant in the radiator and the resevoir. i check the radiator every morning and the radiator is low on coolant but the reservior is ok. i mean it aintreally low but low enough that you cant see the coolantat the top of the radiator. so i add about a cup of coolant. is that normal i mean the car wasnt losing coolant like that before so ireally dont know why it is doing that. other then that the car runs fine and pulls strong.

Default RE: losing coolant

The coolant contracts when it gets cold. Don't ad any more, but check it every few days when ngine is cold. If the level holds, don't worry about it. Make sure the hose from radiator to reservoir has no leaks, and that the radiator cap seals properly.
