Hey at least you're not retaining it, lol.

So, you're putting in coolant or water?  I only ask because it's the same to some folks.
Check you oil for coolant and check your coolant for oil.  Pull a plug and check it.  If there's nothing, chances are, you have a leak to find.

Yup.  That's another reason I asked about the coolant or water.  Water evaporates where the coolant is made not to.  It's called antifreeze, but it should also be known as anti-evaporate, lol.......ugh, need more coffee....

Anyway, run your car like normal.  Whenever you have a chance, pull over at a gas station or just pull up to your house and leave the car running, open your hood and start looking for steam and drips or leaks.  You have to have the car completely at normal operating temps for anything to show up though....and that's if anything shows up.
