The first is hoses. Easy to check, but not always visible. The second is the reservoir cracking at the bottom. Yes, that happens, quite frequently in fact. The third is the heater valve, but that wouldn't leave marks on the block. If your coolant level drops at an even pace and not too much, I'd suspect the heater valve in the first place.
So, to sum it up, you can check your hoses & clamps, then the reservoir and try to get a look at the heater valve. Maybe someone knows how to properly check those, I wouldn't know more.
