After 55k miles, my car had a waterpump leak that seems common in the forums I attend.
Car suffered a failure of the thermostat at 26837 miles causing a loss of coolant. Coolant odor was apparent since the car was new. This appears to be a widespread problem with this model at low mileage.
Engine is losing coolant. Started at ~50k miles marked. Coolant needs to be topped off. Now the car is at 71k miles. Low coolant triggered warning light again! coolant needs to be topped off. There appears to be white crusty marked near the engine oil pan and seem to be coming off from the thermostat housing.
