Engine Coolant doesn't evaporate, so you are looking at an internal or external coolant leak. Do you see coolant leaking onto the ground? If the engine is overheating then that will cause the coolant to boil over and leak out of the coolant cap.
Don't let the engine overheat, this will damage the engine! Get it checked out and fix the cause of the overheating and/or the coolant leak. Then have an electrical diagnosis of the brake light system performed.Flag ThisLike | 2 people like this2 -

Mastercheck the brake light switch on the pedal, the coolant may be leaking and if is consuming it you may need a new head gasket
