I have to fill +/- 2 litres of water every 2 to 3 days.
I don't know why it's using so much water and if it isn't. Where is the water going?
There are no visible leaks anywhere to be found. It's also not mixing with any of the other liquids in the car. There is no abnormal amount of smoke coming out as well. What could the problem be?
can anyone help

The most common suspect is a leaking cylinder head gasket. To verify that, you can add a small bottle of dark purple dye to the coolant. Later, you search with a black light. The dye will show up as a bright yellow stain that you can follow back to the source. If you see the dye inside the tail pipe, the cylinder head gasket is leaking.
