Trying not to diagnose from the couch.

Start with the test that can prove you wrong. A pressure test beats staring at a dry driveway if the 2016 Ford Focus is losing coolant with no puddle. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. Not gospel, but it saved me a headache. I'll update if anything new shows up.
