What are you referring to?
Do you have a leak you are trying to track down? Or possibly are you seeing a coolant loss and are trying to figure out how?

When changing the coolant it needs to be bled. It may have been that the system absorbed the coolant as it bled itself. The coolant light flashing was the indication that it was low.
Take off the oil filler cap and check for any light brown goo. That's an indication that the coolant is seeping into the oil. The smell of the exhaust will tell you if you're burning any coolant.
Ultimately a radiator pressure and/or compression check will tell you much more.
