Loosing antifreeze?

Loosing antifreeze?
Hi all, I seem to be loosing antifreeze from my '05 MCS. I bought a new reserve tank cap, and that helped a tiny bit, but still have to add fluid much too often. Nothing appears to be leaking when I'm parked and don't see anything coming out when I park. Where else should I look?

I would also check your interior ... look and feel and smell for coolant around the center console under the carpet and so forth.
You are checking for leaks from your Heater Core. This is always a possibility.
A quick check for coolant in the oil is pull the oil filler cap and check to see if there is something that looks like ice cream in and around the cap and valve area. (This is also an indicator of a blown head gasket)
last place to check, is under the intercooler, by the water pump... coolant could be leaking out of the weep hole, and or from the thermostat housing. Coolant could be seeping out and pooling in that area where it will sit and pool, and evaporate from the heat of the engine and never really show signs of leaking by pooling under the car.
Best of luck.
Motor on!
