I had been driving around all day with the ACC off and my windows down. When I started it that night to drive home (ACC off still), the SID went off and I found the coolant reservoir down about an inch. I made the 10 mile drive home and it didn't lose much. Home in my garage I then cranked the ACC down to LO and it let loose with that puddle on the floor.
When the ACC isn't demanding a lot of cool air, the valve is relaxed and the diaphragm is tightly pancaked between two pieces of plastic. When it opens, if the diaphragm is ripped, it leaks like crazy.
