are you positive that the disappearing coolant doesnt return to the resevoir after the engine has cooled off? When the engine is warming up to op temp the system may take in some coolant from the resevoir. Only then to return the coolant to the resevoir when the engine cools back down.

Only check/top off your coolant on a dead cold engine IMO.
