Mystery Coolant Loss

Looking for some suggestions about coolant loss on my 90' SPG with 39K miles on it.
When I purchased the car a couple of years back I had the cooling system flushed and a new Saab stock 89 degree thermostat installed. Basic Saab/GM Delco coolant used.
No leaks that I can tell as no scent of coolant either inside of the cabin nor in the engine compartment. Have checked for leaks and cannot find anything other then my friggin' new piece of s--- Proparts PS pump which is getting replaced under warranty (failed with less then 500 miles!).
Drove the car hard yesterday on a 30 mile run. 80 MPH sustained for a while and temp gauge reminded a bit lower then half. Fans operating properly. Got home and coolant was just above minimum.
As car had never had a head gasket, am leaning towards that. Also thinking a new radiator and 82 degree thermostat could help?
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks!
Darren
