2003 C32 AMG
Coolant Resevior Low

I wanted see if anyone has come across multiple radiator or intercooler failures?

2003 C32 80,000 miles
New Valeo Radiator Installed 2007 has a manufacture date of 03/03/2007
Switched to Johnson Intercooler pump 03/2008
New Intercooler installed at MBUSA for $2800 04/2008

Yesterday started snooping around the engine bay after about one month and noticed that my resevior has lost about a 1/2 inch from the top. What can it be? Is a glycol test in my very near future?

May be a good idea to separate your cooling circuit so then you can identify if its a SC intercooler leak or not. You can get the Code3 reservoir from HP Autowerks or build your own.
