Another Nissan Sentra with a coolant leak. WearCheck advises to find the source of the leak, looks like I'll be visiting the dealer sometime soon after I receive the hard copy of the analysis to see if they're willing to do anything about it...
For what it's worth this was mostly short trip driving [between 5 and 10 miles] with 120 mile round-trips approximately once a month.
