Default Coolant level

My reserve tank for the coolant always seems to be empty. I don't see any leaks anywhere. Any ideas about where it might be going? Weep hole is dry. '99 3.9L 4x4 Thanks

I have a 98 with a 5.2 and does the same thing. I had my system checked and no leaks but the bottle stay empty. I never run hot so I left it be.

swap the cap 1st... cheep and easy. it may not be holding pressure.

if that doesnt work, get a pressure tester on there and put somepressure on it to see if you can find the leak.
