Antifreeze doesn't exactly evaporate into air...you might have a leak somewhere. Check all the hoses going into the rad, out of the rad, into the engine block etc. Look under the car/engine for a dried yellow/green markings to see if the antifreeze is leaking and drying on the engine before hitting the ground.

definitely not normal anything that doesnt usually happen is normal since it happened when they did flush I turn it back to them and file a compliant and if they dont do nothing bout it take it to corporate. They mostly will resolve issues. In meantime keep refilling or find the leak
