anyone else need to add coolant once in awhile?

I can smell coolant after driving. just slow and normal no racing and ill smell it in the garage. I have had to add more coolant before when the car only had about 10k miles. no mods on this car as I am worried about the warranty and want to ride it out before moding it.

I feel its the head gasket or something.

I just went out and checked mine and it seems fine. That being said I just had my dealer do an oil change about a month ago and there were no mentions in the notes about adding coolant. Have you had to add anymore since 10k miles?
