The cooling system needs to be closed tight in order to work properly. If the system is not taking coolant from the reservoir there must be an leak somewhere, possibly a bad radiator cap, leaky radiator, loose hose clamp, leaky water pump, etc. Have the system pressure tested to determine where the problem is.

What could be the cause of your 1994 Chevy Camaro leaking radiator fluid?

Radiator, radiator cap, radiator hoses, water pump, coolant reservior and heater core are the more obvious areas. If you notice coolant in your oil it can be caused by a blown head gasket or damaged coolant sleeve in the head of the enging. If you cannot see any coolant leaks outside of the vehicle, check the floor mats on the interior. If you find coolant there, it more than likely is a heater core.
