coolant issue
I've topped it off twice and dealer once. Today I finally brought it in because I cant even see the level in the tank. Dealership said they did a pressure test, bleed and nothing turned up... and even said never check the coolant level again??? Granted the level of road, temp etc would make a difference but having topped it off so many times and seeing it below min is not normal right? There's no coolant puddles or white smoke... But I'm suspecting a little leak somewhere(over a 2 month peroid) Any ideas?

I found my daughter's '07 G35 Sport was leaking at the lower radiator hose clamp on the driver's side. The dealer never saw it and I found it when I was changing her oil. The clamps they use are useless and will leak easily under pressure. They had to replace the hose and clamp, then damaged the plastic cover protecting the under neat engine compartment , then had to replace that.

Would the pressure test confirm if the gasket has a tiny leak?
