 There are no signs of leakage on the expansion tank hose, and the expansion tank itself does not show any signs of leakage.

Hello Ralph... the anti freeze / coolant tends to evaporate over time and must be checked from time to time to avoid this kind of problem. Is there anything else I can add or help you with Ralph? I'll be standing by for your response.

Thank you
