Losing coolant though is an issue b/c it is a CLOSED pressurized system.

Doubtful but how long ago was pump changed? Otherwise, have a quick pressure test done on the system to see if it holds and go from there...

I had this issue this summer, some weeks after I had my water pump replaced. Coolant would "disappear" with no smells, puddles, or white smoke. Later, the car would run a little hot in traffic.
I opened the bleeder on the reservoir (remove the black "shroud" under the coolant and oil caps). I topped off the tank and drove it with the bleed open for a week or two. Never had the problem again.
