2003 Chrysler Town and Country 6 cyl Automatic 145000 miles

I've been filing up my radiator with a gal of antifreeze on a weekly-biweekly basis, I checked for leaks, but their is None. What else can I check or what would make this happen?

Head gasket. Check for white smoke out of the tail pipe.

I checked the oil to see if the antifreeze is mixing with the oil. Nothing. No white smoke.

Two possible plans of attack. Use a pressure tester to pressurize the system and watch for a leak, or add a small bottle of dye, drive for a few miles, then shine a black light around. The dark purple dye will appear bright yellow under a black light.
