i've filled the coolant tank probably 3 times...(after getting my car back from the dealer) and after a few hours the tank is at minimum...also you can see the dried up coolant on areas around the radiator hose...first they just cleaned out and adjusted the hose, the next time they replaced it...i can't visually see where the leak is though

Well, a couple of things could be going on.
When you are filling up the coolant, are you filling the overflow bottle? If so, perhaps the radiator may not be full and is sucking in coolant from it.
If you're losing that much coolant in such a short time, it should be kinda obvious where the coolant is going, if its a leak.
Personally, I'd take it to the dealer and say fix it. I bought a new car so someone else fixes and pays for it, not for me to have to diagnose what's wrong. Take advantage of that.
