Two different dealers have pressure tested mine. At least according to the paperwork and what they told me. But of course, I have no idea what temperature the engine was at when they did that.
You would think it's obvious they should completely warm it up, maybe take it for a highway spin for a while, and then come back and hook it up. But who knows what they actually did.

Radiator end cap leaks will expose themselves without the engine being warmed up.
LIM gasket, that seemed to be a different case from my experience.
Along with pressure testing the system, what they should be doing is putting dye into the coolant, so they can use a black light to identify where coolant may be leaking from around the engine or other parts of the closed system.

It doesn't sound like you have a hellacious leak, but I'd check your oil dipstick. Make sure that there is no sign of coolant in the oil.
