By "third of a tank," do you mean a third of the coolant expansion chamber that you add coolant too. If so, that not too bad really. Do check the coolant and oil for signs of cross-contamination (white foam in the oil or slick stuff on the the surface of the coolant). A compression check is also a useful way to test parts of the head gasket. Also be sure to tighten down all the hose clamps (you may be suprised by how loose some of them are.) I have to add coolant to my car every few months. I have no idea why, but it's been like that for years.
