This has to be a very new unit--either it wasn't filled at the factory (if not, where was the dealer PDI on this?) or there is a very bad leak somewhere.
3 quarts would be easily visible somewhere--sounds a lot like both the factory and dealer messed up.
As porthole mentions--are there any fittings with obvious fluid drips on them in the pump compartment.
Lets hope is was only a lack of first fill that caused the problem--keep an eye on the reservoir.
