I assume you mean the cooling system overflow reservoir is emptying out and you need to keep topping up the coolant level.

This means you either have an external leak or internal leak in the cooling system. Yes that is a big concern because the cooling system is critical for your engine. There can be numerous causes and you need to have the loss of coolant investigated. If the cooling system loses fluid as it is doing your engine can overheat and if this occurs you will experience very expensive engine damage. So have it checked out by a professional very soon. In the meantime ensure that the cooling system is topped up to the correct level and monitor the coolant temperature gauge on your instrument panel which should stay below the half way mark.

SOURCE: Transmission hesitates when put into drive 2000 subaru Forester

You did not mention model or miles. Off hand sounds like fluid. Check level and condition of fluid. If many miles maybe needing to change filter and drain and replace fluid. Hope this helps, good luck and have a good day.

SOURCE: 2002 Subaru Forester - door ajar light is always

This is bound to be a courtesy light switch on one of your doors. Check all the switches to see if they have been damaged. You may have to remove the rubber protection boot to do this. Once you find and replace the faulty switch, all should be well again.

SOURCE: Subaru Forester 1999 GLS spark plug gap?

do the plugs yerself, on a turbo model they are awkward but worth saving your money. you need to take out the air box to do that side (off side in uk) get your plug socket 16mm, and fit it in to the plug (after you take off the leads!) then depending on length of your socket you may need an extention, i use the short swivel adaptor thingy!.. and slowly undo, ... gap to 0.7 - 0.8 on a turbo, 0.6 if your running high boost on a modded model, .............the other side (near side in uk) you got to take out the battery and the washer bottle, be careful with the pipework under the bottle and connections. .... there is not alot of room to change plugs on a 16valve subaru....so have a swear box and plasters ready lol....DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!!!!!.... BECOMES A PROBLEM TO GET A BROKEN PLUG OUT ON THESE!...

Do you need to resetreplacing an engine coil the computer after changing an engine coil?

To shut off the check engine light you have to clear the code out of the computer. Or continue driving it till it goes through 3 drive cycles without seeing a concern and it should shut of, if the coil repaired the concern.I always reset the computer and the k.a.m (keep alive memory) when I do c.e.l repair. Some vehicles still running in fail safe mode if this isn't do

Oil pressure goes to50 psi with cold start

Hi Craig, Oil pressure will always be higher when the engine is cold, as the viscosity of oil is thicker. What vehicle are we talking about? What oil is used in the engine and what is your concern? Regards John

How do i bleed the power steering pump

The easiest way is not the quickest way. Make sure your revoir is filled to the appropriate level and with the engine running, take the power steering cap off. Every 5min or so, just check the level. When it no longer looks bright pink and bubbly, you're good to go.

Fuel guage always shows empty

It sounds as if the fuel tank sending unit is faulty. This is a small float connected to a variable resistor on the fuel pump/sending unit assembly. Unfortunately this assembly is fairly expensive (over $300) and the fuel tank may need to be removed to replace it.

I got a 2001 Chevy Venture and fuel gauge always stays on full

The problem is in the fuel sender unit in the tank. It sounds like the float part of the sender unit is binding when it's at the top (when tank is full) and hangs up there till it falls back down when tank is near empty. It will likely have to come out to be checked, fixed, or replaced. Good luck.

The brake warning light in the IP is always on in my 1999 Chevy Silverado is always on. Any ideas what the concern might be?

Hi:
Your vehicle has a dual brake system, and the light usually indicates that one system has failed. First thing to check is your brake fluid level. If the front or back of the reservoir is low or empty, you have a brake system leak. check the insides of all 4 wheels to look for possible fluid leakage, as well as any other areas under your vehicle where brake lines run. My truck had a rear brake line rust thru, and it caused the same problem.

Good luck finding the problem!

I have a 2001 chevy suburban and it is idoling way too high. Once I put it in drive it goes back down. Sometimes when I am driving, it does not want to shift either.

sounds like you have 2 different issues on this one. the high idle concern..i have repaired many of these with the same concern. check for vacuum leaks first, if all is ok, then check the idle air control (iac) on the side of the throttle body. replacing the iac motor 99.9 percent always fixes this concern
