Default coolant loss after clutch change

as per title, I,ve just had a clutch change at a local garage but I have started noticing that my coolant keeps dropping but the temp stays level, I cant see where exactly its coming from but can see where its leaked onto underneath could this be just a loose hose ? or something that's going cost a lot any ideas would be appreciated.

Do you know if the garage removed engine or gearbox to do the clutch ?

If engine then coolant will have been drained / radiator removed etc. so possible loose hose or something.

If gearbox then perhaps hoses got disturbed / strained - the engine needs to be secured to stop it slumping forward when the gearbox is removed.

Could also be just a coincidence that something has started to leak.

Probably be worth a call to the garage.

Check your top hose to the rad

When I had a new gear box my top hose went with 10 miles of me pickin the car up, was told it's a common fault when the gear box is dropped
