I drive a 2011 chevy 2500hd 4x4 with the 6.0 gas motor. A few days ago I had the transmission, transfer case, and rear differential serviced at a transmission shop. I drove the truck about 15 miles home and maybe 30 miles the next day before I noticed a sloshing sound when I started the truck. I popped the hood and saw that the coolant was low. I have topped off the coolant and it is getting getting lower every time i drive. The truck has not overheated and I don’t see any coolant in the motor oil or transmission. I am wondering if the leak could have been caused by something the transmission shop did during the service. I plan on calling them on Monday to see if they can identify the problem.

Coolant doesn't just disappear it has to go somewhere. You can use UV dye to find the leak:

depends how they "serviced" it.
Did they "flush" the transmission? If so , then that means they messed with the transmission cooling lines on the radiator, and could have disturbed something like the radiator hose or cracked something. This is why Scotty and us always tell people to avoid transmission flushing, and get a pan service instead.
