Check coolant light came on...
I have a 2008 C63 with about 21,000 miles on the clock, I was up in the city (San Francisco) with my buddies the other night so left my car outside for 1 night, it was below 30 degrees out, the next morning went to start my car and the check coolant light came on, after driving around for 20 min or so, it went away and the coolant needle was about halfway up on the needle reading. I checked the ground where the car was parked and didnt really notice any leaking unless it dried up over night. The car runs fine, no issues that im aware of. Should I be worried..? I set up a service appointment for Service B this weekend cause I need it done, I might just have them check it out since the car is in there, I told my service advisor about it, he's mod-friendly and said not to worry too much over it. If the coolant is low, that probably means its leaking..? Any advice or help would be appreciated. Thanks

Now if you are required to top off many times then it would be necessary to get checked out

This would be the first that I would get it topped off if it needs to be, never had an issue with the coolant before, bought the car with 400 miles on it so Im well aware of everything that is serviced on this car or any known issues. Im taking the car in for Service B this weekend, hopefully its nothing too serious, fingers crossed.
