Hi there. At the risk of being too obvious, I've recently been down this road. Here's the spots to go looking; Water pump tube. Rubber seals fail where it enters into block. Water drips out there onto exhaust very slowly. No drip marks until it gets worse, because the exhaust steams off a small drip. Heater core drip into lower aquarium. You'll smell the sweet smell in the cabin on this one, but never see a drip of antifreeze under the car. Head gasket leak down in the right front corner. Just escapes the gasket, but doesn't get to piston.
These were areas where I was finding issues. I started with the water pump, then replaced the radiator, then the headgasket job. Now the heater core is up next on the hit list. All this on a car that just turned over 100,000 in February of this year. Good luck. You'll need plenty of it with these cars, no matter what others may say....Bob
