Default Over heating problem-slow loss of coolant?

For the third time, after several cruises totaling a few hundred miles, engine starts running hot. Reservoir level is barely visible and I refill. Oil on dipstick looks normal (looking for water), no noticeable vapor from tailpipes, even at WOT. After refilling reservoir, at entry into base of reservoir, flow of fluid appears aerated as it enters - is this norm? No appearance of leaks on garage floor and no spell of antifreeze in car while driving.
Any ideas?

have you had the motor apart? changed thermostat? if so, you really need to make sure you have all of the air bled out, these motors hold a bunch. have you checked your cap? no pressure means easy boilover. is the engine modified? blown? nitrous? your car is very young so i doubt it would be warped/cracked head or head gasket, but anything is possible. take it to the dealer and let them work it out.
