Coolant Loss

2014 650i n63tu

Both reservoirs were near empty and I don't see any sign of leakage around the turbos. Are there any common leak points to check?

What level should the rear reservoir be filled to?

You checked your oil for any signs of emulsion?

Admittedly my warning light came on the other day and the reservoir was much lower than the low indicator in the bottle. Not started to investigate where the coolant had gone - I'm hopeful it's just a little evaporation over time but even for that to be true it would imply there is some point for Steam to escape.

Cool

I was adding 1L of coolant every 500mi and the dealer checked it under warranty multiple times... "It's fine!"

Then, finally, they said they found a bad weld on the radiator and replaced the entire radiator assembly. No more leaks... ?
