check your radiator hose.could be leaking somewhere.
check your center core hose (not sure of the name) also if your car still have heater.
good luck.

like kaikon said, also check water for oil residue, if last time don't have, now you have, it's time to check the gasket.

If coolant system properly sealed, you usually NEVER have to refill. I've never needed to top up my coolant.

if there are no leaks, a dying water pump could be on the way.

hi, you might wanna refer to the link below. it is important that you continue to fill in water into the radiator until the thermostat starts working. this has solved the problem that you state for me and a few of my friends.

you can fill the water into the radiator when the fan still does not work. but once it starts spinning, more water will be suck into the engine block by the water pump thus, there would be some vacum in the radiator. make sure that you continue to fill in water into the radiator until the fan stops spinning.

With this method, you will ensure that all parts in the engine block and the radiator are filled with water.

however, if you are still loosing water, you might want to check other parts. as what the guys stated above, water pump. i would suggest that you check the radiator cap as well. is the spring for the rubber valve feels loose?? if yes, change it.

they don't make radiator caps with different pressure rate for nothing. this means that high pressure = higher boiling point

if the spring is loose, that means you will only get a very low boiling point. this equates that all the water in your radiator are vaporizing. thus we can say you've got a problem with your cooling system.

i noted that not many people know about this. try it out. it might help
