So you're leaking coolant? That's not normal

If you're sucking through coolant that fast, either your system was really low or you have a leak. A small hole in the headgasket can cause this if you can't find any other leaks.

How about the coolant in the radiator? Is it empty too? Maybe the plastic bottle has a crack. The car would overheat if it leaks coolant that fast. Did the jiffy lube people actually fill the coolant bottle up?

I wouldn't drive around knowing you have a coolant leak.
