Jeff, how much fluid is missing from your coolant tank?  How fast is it going down?

Could it be the mechanic didn't mop up all the old coolant seeping around
under the back bench - seems to me the floor of the box around the rear
heater is concealed by thin particle board and hard to clean underneath it
- perhaps coolant could have been hiding under the heater or particle board
and then shifted / flowed to a visible  area?
