A long post but I only want to point out one thing. Some coolant leaks are very hard to identify directly. Especially if they are on the top of the motor under the intake manifold. You will only know for sure because the coolant level will always be low and you are constantly putting in small amounts. The best defense is a strong offense ie, if it has been a long time (or you just don't know) when the hoses and seals were done under the manifold then you should have a Master Water Pump kit done and change ALL of the hoses, seals, water pump, and belts.
