Dutch....
Same thing happened to me
So they figured the reservoir for coolant had a crack on the bottom portion of it. Its a tough one to spot but maybe you can tell them to look for it.
Good luck to you!!!!!!!

I had this happen to me, turned out to be a small crack in one of the hoses. It wouldn't leak unless I drove for a long time (10hr highway trip) and had enough heat that the hose warmed up enough to flex, so I never saw any coolant on my driveway just mysteriously losing coolant.

I have the same problem, we cant find the where the leak is from, you said it was a seal inside one of the radiator hoses, could you describe me which hose was it?
Thanks

Thanks! We disassembled the radiator, check the hoses and rings, pressure tested the radiator, we couldn't find the leak, I'll take a closer look at the reservoir tank, , but I can tell its leaking, specially in cold weather it seems to be more....
