check to see if your leaking elsewhere. also check under your oil cap to see if you have milky substances...if you do it could be a bad headgasket or just a simple leak somewhere

Fill it up with coolant when it's cold. Let it run til normal operating temperature and look for leaks all around the rad and hoses.

Check your oil cap^^^

Yeh i feel liek i have a similar problem except the motor is a brand new b20 (9.6:1) from Hmotors. We pressure tested the motor and my compression is even all across. I don't really know any other ways to diagnose losing coolant. I know everyone will respond to me by saying to check to see if the coolant and oil are mixing, they are NOT mixing.
