===================================

You filled the reservoir, the engine drank a bunch to replace the air it
was forcing out.

Fill the reservoir to MAX, and the rad to the top. Next time the engine
is cool, do it again. It will eventually stop 'sipping' coolant but the
easiest way to tell if it's leaking is to keep it at MAX so there's some
reserve in the reservoir.

Hondas don't like to have their cooling systems neglected.
