Coolent Issue, missing

I'm new to the mini thing so if i ask something that is common knowglege, i'm sorry.

Car:

06 Mini S hardtop -65k

Issue:

Loosing coolant in the coolant tank. I first noticed this issue few months back when i took it to mini. They told me my thermostat was leaking and had it replaced. Up until last week all was good until i was checking everything over after an oil change. Noticed there was basically no coolant. I do not see any visible leaks nor do i smell the coolant. My car never overheats and the tank looks in good shape. Any ideas before it goes back to the dealer?

If i had to guess i would say it took 3 days to lose the coolant.

Slight leaks on the radiator bottom corners are quite common but difficult to spot and can cause slow coolant loss over time.
