The thing about fluid loss, is that it has to go somewhere. If there is no outward leak, then it has to be leaking internally. If the could be that it draws coolant into the combustion chamber, and then it vaporizes. If you have white smoke coming from the exhaust, then that is steam from the coolant. Also, you may notice water coming from the exhaust. That is the steam after it has condensed in the cool exhaust.
