Default Loosing coolant 2011 3.7

I have been randomly loosing coolant about a quart every two weeks never a raise in engine temp no indication of any leaks at water pump or thermostat housing. it leaves a small bit of coolant perhaps once a month under the car on the floor but not level ground so can't really pin point it. Car has 65K on it daily driver. Any Ideas?

My 99 leaves a bit on the ground up front by the radiator drain plug because of a small crack above the drain. Can you get under your car to look? If you change your own oil do you see anything unusual when it drains in case there's a head gasket issue?

I don't do my oil and car is way too low to the ground to get under. I have started to put news paper under it to try to see where it is. I suspect a leaking heater core sometimes in warm weather the windshield will fog a bit when the windows are down and no heat or ac. I am more than likely going to just take it to the local ford dealer let them figure it out. I have an extended warranty that will cover it.

They all do that. Mine just got back from the dealer with 24K miles...

REFERRED TO TSB 14-0212, REPLACED WATER PUMP, SEALS, AND THERM HOUSING TO DEGAS HOSE RECHECK AND VERIFIED AS PER TSB 14-0212

As far as I am aware this TSB is for the V6 but I could be wrong. I would think it would be a warranty issue.
