Please provide your vehicle info. Year, engine, etc. Where are you seeing the coolant at minimum level? The overflow bottle? If that is the case, then it is supposed to be at minimum when cold. Check your owners manual for the specified coolant type and how to properly check the coolant level.

It's perfectly normal. The level is at minimum when the engine is cold because the coolant is sucked back into the cooling system. As the coolant heats up while driving, it expands and enters the reservoir. Google how cooling systems work for a better explanation.
