Any leak in the cooling system will result in it not easily sucking the coolant back from the reservoir. As the coolant cools down, the pressure drops which creates a vacuum in the system. This is what draws the coolant back in. If there is a leak, the cooling system could draw in air (which is easier for it to do) instead of that coolant, leaving it all in the reservoir
