Exclamation Check Coolant Warning

About 3 weeks ago the Check Coolant warning came on.

I added about a pint and a half.

Came on again a couple of days ago an i noticed that there was evidence of a small leak by finding residual fluid on some of the other hoses. after feeling around I could get a little on my finger from were the top hose connects to the expansion tank.

I took the hose off put it back on topped off the tank and took it to the dealer.

They say it needs a hose no big deal. Ordered it, will be here Tuesday. Keep an eye on it.

Yesterday I drove 50 miles. Light came on. Topped it off with about a quart. Called the dealer, they reassured me it's just a leak in the suspect hose, offered me a loaner if I wanted to bring it back and just to watch it. Later drove 20 miles. Topped it off again, maybe a pint and again 20 miles maybe a pint.

The temp is perfect, no other warnings and runs like a champ.

Should I park it until Tuesday? I don't need a loaner car.

Or don't worry and ad as needed. Might it be leaking somewhere else?

Crystal Ball users.

Thanks
