    None on dip stick, maybe a drop, and none under cap.

    Maybe i need to have stealership do a pressure check?

    Just hit me, 5yr 100k powertrain warranty.

    So no coolant in the reserve and the radiator. If that is the case, have them check it out.

    True, but you just cooked the coolant. I'm a firm believer of follow the manual except:

    1) Tranny - flush every 50K miles, I don't care what the manual says.

    2) Coolant - flush every 50K miles, I don't care what the manual says.

    Car is back and no leaks were detected. They top it back, conducted a pressure test, drove it, let it sit idle with heater running, and not a drop anywhere.

    I did the Tranny at 50k, but was not thinking about coolant till this. Luckily no issues found, so guess this counts as radiator flush.
