Default civic LS swap

Car recently started over heating...I checked coolant its a a good level theres no leaking but it seems like the coolant is leaking somewhere because everytime i drive somewhere the level of coolant gets lower....I dont think its a blown head gasket because the oil is still golden there is no antifreeze mixed with it...Im not blowin white smoke...I dunno what is going on any help???

Just off hand, sounds like the system wasn't burped to get all the air out. There is a bleeder bolt on the thermostat side if I remember right that you loosen and let it release coolant until no more air bubbles appear.

If you smell any anti freeze inside the car you could have a bad heater core.

Burping the system I just run the car with radiator cap off right. Is the bleeder bolt on the front of the block. Because its not in the same location as my D16Z6. I was told to run the car radiator open and then turn on the heat to get rid of all of the air.
