Slight coolant loss - source question

[Lancer_427]

I know there are other threads discussing this, and I've read most of them.. I recently bought my 3.6 ETorque Wrangler. Coolant level was low; topped it up and had to do so several times; I estimate about 1.5 quarts total addition. Still seems like it is very slowly dropping, though it may have leveled off (monitoring). Just changed oil (about 1,000 miles since purchase; I treat the dealer oil change as an engine flush basically); found no sign of water in the oil and nothing visible on the inside of the oil fill cap / cavity (no milky layer). I see no sign of an external leak but it's crowded in that engine bay.. No DTC codes.. How difficult is it to check the EGR cooler for internal leaks? Am I missing anything? Thanks in advance for any advice.

I had the same issue with a coolant leak at only 30k . I could smell coolant put no coolant hitting the ground.
I could not see any leeks or residue from a leak. After replacing the radiator with a Mishimoto the smell was gone. One I remove the old radiator and inspected it I could not see any indication of a leak
Six months later the water pump started leaking.
