is this to do with cleaning your throttle body or your car drinking coolant?

you can always take off the intake pipe and check it the throttle body.
i clean the intake pipe and throttle body everytime i service my car which is every 5k's, that way you know it's always clean.
just buy some carby/throttle cleaner from a auto store and read the instructions.

for the coolant, check your oil if the coolant is going into your motor, from a cracked head/gasket.
and how often do you have to fill up the bottle?

it could be slowly leaking? or maybe you got a slight crack in your reservoir tank.

or check around the radiator at the top, around the rim, check if there's any dry coolant stains, practically check anywhere that the coolant goes, just could be slowly leaking.
