No is does disappear to end up in an alternative universe.. like socks.
The geat clamps need to retighened when new and after one year and every few years after that. The rubber moves under the clamps and the clamping pressure is lost. Leaks most likely to occur on the smaller hose joints.
The 4 cyl coolant pump to block adapter o-rings will leak when they become suggiciently hardened. What engine?miles
And the head bolts might be allowing a head gastket leak.
When coolant gets low, it will be prone to doing as you report, or during acceleration with a cold engine. You need to check the level, cold, on the level. Many of the reservoir bottles have become stained or coated with deposits and you cannot really read the level properly. Once you get the level corrected, then you can entertain problems with the level switch mechanism. When you correct the fluid levels, also check the condition of the pressure cap rubber seal ring.
If you flush and fill, replacement of the t-stat is often done at that time if it is original. DIY info for this stuff: search drs<underscore>install and read the coolant related posts.
