Sept 06 I had a lot of maintenance done (tune up, timing belt, water pump, vc gask, cam seal, crank seal, drive belts, cooling system). In Jan. I had to add coolant - approx 2 cups. Now in March it's losing coolant regularly and seems more after car is driven. In otherwords, if car is not used and just sitting the coolant seems OK. Scheduled appointment next week. I've tried to read about possible reasons in preparation.

Since I don't know anything yet and it could be minor or major, what suggested repair is good to do and what suggested repair should make me pursue second opinions.

Thank you.

Its possibly u have a head gasket leak. Did you get a coolant flush? If u don't regularly PM your car ( like the cooling system) crud n stuff builds up and starts sealing stuff. But when u flush the system it frees up this crud and u could create leaks.
