Yes, it's normall for it to "evaporate" over time.

The reson is, glycol will leak out of the smallest path were plain water will not. Even a tiny. undetectable leak will make the coolant level go down over time.

However, the amount should be small and nothing should "dry up" over the course of say, a year.

Oh, it wasn't a year, it was at least three years. lol. I guess I never noticed it when ever I worked on my car until the day it was a little below low.
