well if there is no trace of coolant outside the car check that its not leaking inside the car. (i think you'd know this anyway)
if its not inside the car, then its a fair assumption to say its burning it. this being the case you can do a test with a device to see if there is exhaust fumes in the coolant.
otherwise does the car have residue from the exhaust even when its warm?
if its under warranty i'd take it back to them and ask them to return it when fixed - no less. if you don't find satisfaction with that dealer - take it to a different dealer to have the same done.
