guys , before 2 days i changed my intake manifold , during the operation lot of water came out , and we replaced
the problem is that i remember that before we do that the spot of the water in the fridge of the water was at MAX i checked it today it was at MIN i dont think that there is a leakage but i think they didnt put enough in the engine ... what i must do now ? i was thinking of refill to MAX but how should i do it ? i mean i just open the valve and refill or i need to run the engine first and the refill to MAX?

anyway i refilled a little bit up the MAX limit and i ll start the engine later and i ll watch it , i ll open the valve so some amount of the water can be spilled and we see

It is common some air was trapped in the engine which now came out by the reservoir. Just fill the reservoir to MAX, after a while it should stay stable around the MAX. If you have to keep refilling you got a leak, but I bet it was just trapped air.

Yup that is normal... I think some rubber hoses change their size a little under heat, having less volume.
