[size=7]Hello, Does anybody know if the coolant level stick is suppose to be floating in the reservoir? I added some distilled water in the reservoir and the level stick floated upwards. Is this normal? THANKS!!

Yes. Actually stick should float in upward position and be outside of the reservoir for few centimeters. So You can check coolant level.
