I have a 01 1.6L Mazda Protege with about 65,000 miles on the engine and I am losing antifreeze and has to refill the reservoir every 3-4 days I am not seeing any puddles of antifreeze and all the hoses are tight. What could it be??? I also drive about 80+ miles a day. Its not mixing with the oil and the engine is not running hot.
 
Sometimes you won't see any puddles because the leak or bad gasket is up high and until the coolant heats up/boils during high engine work it doesn't reach the level where the leak is. At that point you may be driving down the road leaving a small trail of coolant or just the steam evaporating under the hood.
