05 CS - New engine + coolant pipes - still loss of coolant??

Hi,
I recently noticed that the coolent level is much below min, there is no leak that i can see when parked .. the engine along with the coolant pipes were replaced less than 3 mths back at 44k miles and the coolant/antifreeze was filled ... currently it has 45k miles on it ... any clue please on what could be wrong if the coolant pipes were replaced?

canberk will become famous soon enough
it could be the heater core, or a leak inside the engine...

Considering the small difference in mileage, could also be an air pocket surfaced and just needs to be topped off, and keep an eye on the level.

right coolant?

thxs for the suggestions .. I am going to take it to the P-shop but was going to top it off with the coolant and see if the level drops (haven't noticed any smell at all) .. which coolant do i use, the OES Genuine antifreeze coolant from Porsche? Amazon sells it as a decent price and I don't mind spending a few bucks xtra for the right stuff (i know theres been a lot of discussion on this! :P ) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00..._ya_oh_product

also, do I need to mix it with distill water or sumthing or just add it to the coolant tank??

thanks
