There have been many posts re unexplained coolant loss. By unesplained, I mean no obvious leak. Causes can be many. First, there may be leaks where the hoses connect to fittings. A sthe car ages, the hoses shrink under the clamps and allow small leaks which can be hard to see as tehy only occur when th car is running and the system is undewr pressure. Also the hose clamps are not the best in the world. So step one is to replace all those clamps and keep them tight. Also you can have a minor leak in a hose which may have developed a crack. The other posts also give good ideas although, in my opinion, hey are less liekly than the "invisible" hose leaks.
