Default Coolant problem!

ok here is my problem, i filled up my coolant to its normal level and then i drive for one day and the next day i checked it again. this time almost all of my coolant is done and noticed some coolant on the bottom of my front bumper inside the engine bay. first thing i suspected was that something was leaking and so i refilled the coolant tank and i tapped it this time and shake my car to see if there was something leaking. well my tank was not leaking and so was anything. well i drove it again for the whole day and i checked it again the next day. same thing happened, the coolant is almost done. is it just me or is something wrong here. help me out guys.

is there any coolant around the top of the radiator?? It sounds like the top tank is cracked on the radiator. When mine cracked I noticed old fluid in the same areas as you described.

Just Sounds like a leak somewhere. If you cant find it just use some dye http://www.autobarn.net/trcodyeforfl.html.

Check your upper and lower radiator hoses and the radiator for cracks.
