Level is near to the low mark.
No leaks visable. Oil ok.
Am i correct in thinking cars usually have screw caps on the reservoirs.
At 1st thought i was looking at the screen washer bottle ????

Don't mix different colour/type coolants or you could end up with a sludge which promotes corrosion. Buy some from your Subaru dealer of the same type that is in the car...

Thought it was a bit strange not having a screw cap.
The level is at the bottom marker, do you still think i should leave it alone
and just keep an eye on it ?
