the car looses app. 1 cup of antifreeze a week and then the low coolant light comes on. there is no leaking on the floor-no sign of leaking under the hood. Inside windows do not have a film on them.only smell antifreeze outside the car. There is no steaming in the cold to show where its leaking. After driving the car for an hour or more I can go under the hood and immediately open the radiator cap with nothing spraying out and the coolant is warm but not hot to the touch. The car came with dexcool in it and I had the thermostat changed and the coolant system flushed out and there is no change. THe car never overheats. Temp gauge is always the same-in traffic or going down the highway! Any ideas? thanks

Have the cooling system pressure tested simple way to find leak.Also have cap checked if it can't hold 15 to 17 psi coolant will be lost
