Default 92 Honda Accord Coolant Loss

My honda accord is loosing Coolant 2 qts every 3/4 weeks. I took it to a shop for check up. They did the pressure check and told the radiator pressure is Ok , however the problem could be due to loss in the engine head.

Pls help.

So, what was their solution to your problem ? After you park your car, just look underneath it to see if you see any coolant dripping from above. If the only thing they pressure tested was your radiator, then maybe you have some leaks coming from your hoses or water pump. Any effects on your car as a result of this coolant loss other than filling your reservoir bottle all the time?

They reffered me to a shop which specilizes in radiator. And told me that they have to un install it to send it for testing. So I declined as it could cost a lot.
There is no visible leaks underneath. Only effect I see is the temperture meter shoots up after 2/3 weeks when I have to refill it.

Run, don't walk to another shop who knows what they're doing.
If you're losing that much coolant, you obviously have a leak somewhere.
Find a shop who'll take the time to thoroughly check out the entire system.
