Maybe the cooling system didn't get completely full, some air pockets or something, though you'd think that would have manifested itself with a higher run temperature or something.....

I'd say fill it back up, drive it for a while and see if it continues to drop..... after making sure you don't have coolant in your oil. That could get messy, and be expensive to fix.

As a level 1 burglar, Bilbo got a pony when he accompanied the level 60 dwarves on the Smaug the Dragon raid. Those powerlevelers probably invited him solely so he could trigger fellowship attacks for them.
