    Could be an air lock in your coolant ?

    If your car is under warranty I would ask the garage to check it out.

    Oh oh, wait until the spelling police wake up
    Anyway, a tell tale sign of the common reservoir leak is to check the heat shield under the bottle, if it's green then you have a leak and would explain the bottle being empty
