I have a 9-5 se with a v6 - had slow coolant leak, did the oil cooler, still lost coolant, eventually had a head gasket leak that allowed combustion gases to get into the coolant. When the resulting pressure in the coolant got high it would release in a coolant eruption from the reservoir. I Did the head gasket 18 months ago and a couple of weeks ago the rad went and now my head gasket is bad again. Not sure if the rad problem caused or was caused by the head gasket. All of this occurred over several years and 150,000 km but I suspect that the early coolant loss was the early failure of the head gasket. I don’t think you should have on-going normal coolant loss.
