Hey everyone,

I've got a 2018 Infiniti Q50 Red Sport with about 60,000 miles on it. Lately, I've been getting the 'Low Engine Coolant' warning on my dash. I've checked the reservoir, and it's pretty much empty. However, I can't find any visible leaks on my garage floor or around the engine bay.

I've topped it off a couple of times, but the warning eventually comes back. Is this a common issue with the VR30DDTT engine? What should I be looking for? I'm worried about potential engine damage.
