Coolant level question

Forgive my paranoia, but this is my first loop. I put it together over the weekend, and the level in the reservoir has dropped ever so slightly a time or two. I checked around but no leaks anywhere. That's just air hiding in the loop (most likely the radiator) escaping and making it's way back into the reservoir, right?

It's fairly normal for a new loop to have a drop in liquid level from air bleeding out of the system. Just keep an eye on it and make sure it's not continue to dropping overly rapidly.

Of course, I can usually see pretty well where all the fitting connections are, so I'm always looking, just wanted to verify that it was normal

Gonna evaporate and pump speed will also effect the level. I have one loop with a breather that looses a lot of fluid.
