I know exactly what the problem is...this is what you need to do:

Look at the keyboard
Hit the caps lock key until the LED indicator for the caps lock turns off

But if you are losing no coolant at all "not talking about just leaking" are you sure the thermostat is installed correctly?

im gonna bet you have a leak.. my rad would push all the coolant to the over flow till it was.. well overflowing, turned out to be the rad. it had tiny holes that would leak, so small that you couldnt see it on the ground. it happenes when the fins on the rad start to break off and rip tiny holes in the lines running thru the rad.

im not too sure but i think any amount of coolant being burned would show up in the exhaust.
and if you have tiny holes in the rad like mine then you probably wont feel any moister because it evaporats right away .. cuz it leaks out a fine mist. im pretty positive you need a new rad.

Have you bled the system and made sure the flapper valve isn't shut? You can find it here:
