On my 3.2 A3 I was losing anti freeze. Went and filled up then. For 40K service they discovered defect thermostat which was causing loss. Did NOT have any fluid on garage floor. It evidently would leak and engine heat would evaporate, but made a mess on engine block.

Pressure test the system, and look for leaks.
