Coolant loss no external evidence

Chevrolet Trax 2015  45000 miles
Since I iwn d the car it has list coolant without any external evidence. Ansovthere is no evidenc in th engine oil. Dealer replaced coolant recovery tank but no change in loss. Seems like about half a gallon in 6000 miles. Is Turbo leaking onto exhaust in such small amount it is not detectable ??

This is a ongoing problem with this engine. The coolant line behind the turbo leaks and GM refuses to pay for it under the drivetrain warranty. They have had so many failures they keep multiples of the failed coolant pipe on the shelf. Shanme on GM for claiming it is not an integral part of the engine.

Yes, not under drivetrain warrenty. Just had my 2018 Trax in for repair, loosing coolant, no visible leaks. Had both turbo coolant pipes replaced as well as turbo oil feed line. Cost me close to $1200. If this is a common issue GM needs to cover the cost. Shame they don't.

Bought 2020 Chevy Trax brand new. Significant Coolant issues began at 82,000. Three year old car. GM won’t cover coolant issue. Added gallons of coolant for two days. Took to mechanic. They replaced radiator surge tank with a crack in it, and said cap had crack in it from excessive pressure build up. Ended up with blown head gasket. Ridiculous for a 3 yr old car. Major expensive repair for new head gasket. Cannot believe Radiator Watranty Extension was only for 2015-2019 Trax. Issue STILL exists in 2020 Trax and GM should be held accountable for such negligent, shoddy workmanship. Radiator Warranty Extension issued by GM for 2015-2019 Trax should be extended. You get what you pay for.

Just having the same issue now, turbo coolant leak at the seals, my Trax is a 2018. Still under 36k for miles but my three years is up and is not covered under warranty. $1100 to fix it. For a vehicle so new this should be a recall...Shame on GM.
