Losing coolant
I have a 2021 F pace 250S with just over 15k miles, a few weeks ago the low coolant warning light came on
I checked it and it was low to say the least, i got some coolant and topped it off just under the max fill line
i have been checking it once a week and it is losing coolant, it falls below the minimum line each time, is this normal? or could i have a problem?
i have until the end of july for the warranty I have owned it for 2 years now and this is the first time the low coolant issue has occurred.
any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated

Did you have a coolant flush resently? If you did, there is air in system. It will resolve if you keep filling it with coolant until the air dissappears in system.
It's not normal to have a low coolant. It's been a habit for me that everytime I open the hood, I inspect all the fluids (coolant, brake fluid, engine oil etc). Have it check. It's still under warranty. My guess, is there is a leak (possibly loose coolant hose or maybe a bad water pump) . You may not notice the leakage on the driveway because there is an under tray underneath the engine that prevents it from dripping coolant to the ground.
The bad news, do you notice any white smoke coming from the tailpipe? Look on the engine oil cap if there is a white residue like mayonaise and oil smells like coolant. If you;ve seen these signs, the engine might ran overheated and wrapped the engine.
