Default S4 loss coolant?

2013 S4. At 15k miles, I noticed the coolant level is about 1 inch below min level when cold (and 1 inch above min level when hot.) There is no obvious leaking visible. I forget what the coolant level was then the car was brand new. Not sure if it is normal to have some loss under normal condition, or should I bring it to dealer to take a look?

Could be normal, but one might ask if you had previously noted the level to be higher. I personally have noticed that mine had dropped below the min level @ 1500 miles. Put a piece of tape or mark the level when cold on the reservior and continue to monitor . Could be an early sign of Water pump or t stat failure
