I'm at 54k. I've had at least 6 services already. Guess they never had to change it or top it up...

I have a 2016 F1 50 with a 2.7 eco-boost and I have noticed antifreeze levels drop I already topped it off at the dealership at 5000 miles when I did a oil change. Then noticed it went back down again about a month ago so I added some to the min and max
Line. So far I have added about 3/4 of a gallon. I had some rough idle when started warm. Then a check engine light went on yesterday and was off when I came out after card game when stared. Just checked fluid level again and it's down again. Dealership did a pressure test at 5000 miles and said it passed. It's at 10,000 miles and I am going in for a service call tomorrow and a oil change. $40,000 brand new and I will have to rent a car while they work on it. Geez!
Wondering if it is leaking , (don't see any leaks) or burning by leaking out a intake gasket or head gasket. I did notice white exhaust smoke once but I am normally inside truck when started.
