Radiator fluid and coolant are the same (different names are used). If looking in the engine compartment or under the vehicle does not show evidence of seepage or leakage, have pressure tested at an automotive service dealer or shop to find out what needs to be repaired.

If you have a radiator cap on top of the radiator in addition to one on the coolant reservoir bottle, then when the engine's cold remove the radiator cap and fill the radiator right to the top and put the cap back on. Also fill the reservoir to the cold fill level. As long as you don't see any steam or wet spots around the engine compartment or on the ground, keep driving it, but watch the coolant levels in both the reservoir AND the radiator (if there's a radiator cap). Never remove the caps until the engine cools sufficiently, especially a radiator cap.

it would be a good idea to take it to a good mechanic shop to get it checked. have them do a coolant pressure test
