Not normal. Do yourself a favor and get the coolant pressure test kit from harbor freight. There are a few leaks that can occur on the 1.4 that you won't spot once it is running at temp. A few leaks that burn off because of the exhaust heat are the turbo coolant lines, oil cooler and the water outlet.I am having the same issue. The coolant liquid is running fast but the mechanic sees no leak. I just bought a coolant liquid and filled myself. The mechanic said may just be normal, but this is not the Chevy's information from the manual guide. My car has more than 125 miles. Consuming a lot of coolant liquid at this point should be normal?
