is it normal for the cooland level to vary slightly with ambient temps?
i noticed that the coolant reservoir was a little low the other day, so i went out and got some distilled water so I could top it off. The past 2 mornings I've checked the coolant reservoir level before I drove to work and noticed that it was slightly lower today than yesterday. But there is definitely no coolant on the ground and last time I changed the oil it was fine.
The outdoor temperature today was 10-15* cooler than the first day. Would this be enough to cause a slight change in the coolant level? Or should I go get a pressure test on the system?

May have a slow leak, maybe the water pump? My DD MR2 does this. Every 6 months on the dot I have to add about a quart of coolant, then it's good to go for another 6 months. Just has a small leak... but until it's bad enough I'm not gonna do anything.
Just keep an eye on it, make sure it never gets far below 'low'. You may want to go ahead and consider changing it though... who knows how balanced it is (coolant:water) especially now that you've added more water to it.
