  Absolutely check your coolant level ASAP. Just because you don't see any leak, means nothing. There can be very slight leaks where the coolant just evaporates and you will never see a drop on the ground. The 740s of your vintage have a reserve bottle where you can check the level. Do it when the engine is COLD, so you don't burn yourself. Good Luck!
