Default Coolant low?

I've had the Disco for 3 months now and have noticed coolant around the, I guess its called the reserve tank which is located on the passenger side of the engine. When I changed the oil a month ago I also filled the tank with coolant. Today I opened the hood and noticed dried up coolant around the coolant tank and its low again. Im just hoping its just that and not the head gasket. Anyone have this problem??

look underneath the truck from the front... check the frame rails where the bumper mounts to the frame. That is basically where the radiator sits and if you see coolant dripping from that area then it could be a rad leak... check all the hoses associated with collant too like the hoses at the bottom of the resevoir, the hoses that run along the top Right hand valve cover which lead back through the bulhead to the heater core and also check the smaller hose that leads to a from the throttle body. IF no leaks in any of those places then you may have a HG problem.
