Coolant loss mystery

The car is a 96 9000CS, automatic with 71K. It has a steady coolant loss.
Did an extensive search on this BB. (This appears to be a prevalent issue)
Examined all the usual suspects, all have perfect alibis.
No oil/coolant exchange
No coolant smell at the exhaust
No coolant leaked into the cabin
No coolant seepage from the thermostat
No coolant leak at the throttle housing (both connections are dry)
No expansion tank leak
With the hood open and engine running, standing in front of the car, I can detect coolant smell from the driver's side, but saw nothing.
The upper coolant hose from the engine to the radiator is pressurized, very hard.
