[Mk2] [NA] Coolent level dropping?

Can someone pls explain why my coolent level keeps dropping under the pressure cap but not in the reserve tank?
This doesn't make sense to me. Surely the coolent should run out in the reserve tank before the level drops in the main system!
I am confused pls help.
