Whatever genius engineer decided to make the t-stat/water pump housing out of plastic is to blame for this. They leaked on the previous model.

I think I have a slow coolant leak as I sometimes get a sweet smell and my line was under minimum.....any ideas? I will have car at dealership on the 5th and may have them investigate when it is there

Raise the issue with them and add coolant for the time being. My friend had the same problem with his mk7 until his car had 0 coolant and he had it towed to his shop where they couldn't find the leak. They refilled it and it never leaked again but no one knows where the leak was.

Weird - does coolant burn off at all? Maybe a dumb question
