do you notice any puddle of c00lant under your car in the morning?

make sure there's no tears in the rad hose or cracks in the radiator.

if the car is still under warranty, best to take it to a dealer.

 

Yeah, the radiator prolly has a hole in it When I had my R this same thing happened to me on 2 separate occasions. Each time the dealer warrantied and replaced it

Lost Type R,
When the motor's running you should smell coolant or like Yoshi said see coolant leaking from under the car when the motor cools.

By filling coolant, do you mean you are filling your coolant reservoir or radiator?

If you dont find any leaks, I suggest you drain all your coolant from your radiator. Refill and than BLEED your coolant system. You probably have air pockets in your cooling system.
