Question Engine Coolant

After cleaning the car yesterday I lifted the bonnet to check oil, windscreen washer fluid etc and noticed I only had about a quarter of engine coolant level left. So I popped it down to the dealer and they topped it back up to max. Thing is, the temp gauge has never gone above normal. The dealers bench tested it to a certain PSI and could find no leaks in the system. Bizarre? Any theories anyone?

Talking Re: Engine Coolant

Possibly? I did think of evaporation, but I then thought wouldn't that be more likely in hot weather?
