C63 head bolts question

what are the symptom indicate it has head bolts problem ?
i know some of these:
loosing coolant oil,
check engine coolant light
white smoke
limp mode
etc...

do you think it easy to convince the dealer base on just loosing coolant and CEL that they need to replace the head bolts ?

if they top it off for me, but a day later, same thing happen again..do you think they will eventually look into it and open the head ? and eventually replace it ? if just loosing the coolant only and CEL keep appear, do you think they just ignore and top it off coolant for me? or they have to look deeper,

what i mean is that without limp mode or anything, what determine for them to say ok the car has head bolts problem..



im under factory warranty.

Burning coolant is a good sign.

The coolant system is sealed, if you are constantly loosing it, its going into the cylinders or on the ground.
