In the last 6 months I have had to add engine/radiator coolant about 3 times. The reserve tanks runs low and the warning light comes on. I can't see any aparent leaks and no fluids on the ground of my garage. What might be causing the car to use coolant like this?

you been noticing white exhaust lately?

how about green or orange residue near any coolant hoses?

if the coolant is leaking on the engine it could be hitting it and burning off before you even notice it, have the coolant system pressure tested, should tell you if any hoses are bad.
