What color is your cap. I was losing a slight amount of coolant until I bought a new green cap.

Have you checked the fluid level since then? If it is down again, perhaps you have some air in the system. If it is low, add an amount of water equal to the coolant you added, although I wouldn't worry about a little extra antifreeze.

Another way you could improve the situation is to have your antifreeze tested, then you will know what the mix is, and how to correct it.
