Coolant Issue

[interscope8]

So early last fall I noticed my coolant tank kept getting empty... Real fast. I'd fill to the "cool" line and noticed it would all be gone by the end of the week. Took it to the dealership and they claimed the thermostat housing had warped. So they fixed it and it was fine all winter. I just changed my oil and was gonna do all my basic maintenance today and noticed the damn think is empty again.

So who knows what's going on here? I don't wanna take it in an pay to have it fixed for 4 months...

Obvious question but..

Do you see any telltale signs of coolant leaks? First place I would check is the
repaired lower t-stat housing and sensors. Closely inspect the radiator, all hoses,
water pump, heater control valve, overflow tank, etc. A coolant pressure tester can
be rented with a fully refundable deposit at most auto parts stores. Call around and GL.

No leaks at all. I put some more coolant in and drove around a bit and it appears to be fine, I'm gunna keep my eye on it and watch for leaks and lower levels of fluid. My dad seems to think it's a head or intake gasket

i dont think its a head gasket leak because your oil would look like dish soap, all bubbly and watery. im actually having the same mystery with my 98 accord. no leaks anywhere, and i still lose coolant pretty rapidly. the oil is good, and the car runs pretty good otherwise. cant figure out where its all going.
