Your either leaking or have a bad head gasket. Could also be a bad radiator cap.

I wouldn't jump to bad head gasket right off the bat and I would think you would smell radiator fluid. Look under your oil cap and see if it looks like chocolate milk..that would tell you. Plus your car would run like crap.

WHat I would do is put a cardboard box folded out under your car, fill up the radiator, start the car. Let it run for 30 minutes (ok if to long 20) and shut it off. Leave the car sit and watch and look around to see leaks.

The last leak I had a was a small hose that went to the throttle body so keep looking (YOU CAN DO ITTTT..LOL)

Does the engine look like you drove through a mud puddle? If yes, you have a leaking radiator. Unfortunately, these radiators will leak near the upper radiator hose.

Might be your thermostat, solved my heating issue first time it happened

check your oil for milky color. Clear indication of coolant mixing with oil. Not a good thing.

U have to reaaaaaaaally look for the leak. It can be hard to spot. but if u replacing coolant all the time then obviously u have a leak somewhere
