Could be a lot of things: heater core, water pump, bad/loose hose-clamp, head-gasket, etc. Put the front of the car up on jack stands, start the engine and crawl under it - closely watch the water pump. Could be a slight leak from either the shaft area or from the gasket that seals the front cover. May be one of those leaks that only appears while the vehicle is running, and is so slight that it doesn't leave prominent marks on the garage floor. If you're not seeing any signs of oil in the water, or water in the oil, and get no smell of anti-freeze in the passenger compartment, with the heat on, I'd throw a small bottle of Bars' Leak in there. The stuff is actually good for the water pump, car manufacturers actually use it on the assembly lines, will end the top-offs, and will give you some time to rectify the coolant "issues" at a later date!
