Obviously it's either leaking, or burning off, if you have to add every so often. The one thing you don't want to do is to mix types - If it's already the factory Orange coolant, do NOT add the green stuff. If someone has changed it to green (and by that, I mean PROPERLY changed it over, by fully flushing EVERYTHING), then you want to stick with the same. But chances are it's supposed to be the factory orange.

I'd use a u iversal fluid, like I already do, as I was not sure what the previous owners had used, as it was red...
