if its not leaking externally than its probably leaking internally into
the engine meaning either head gasket or intake manifold leaking
is it over heating? does your temperature gauge go up near or at H? something you can do is check your oil on the dipstick look for
a milky residue on there also pull the spark plugs out and look for

signs of coolant on the tips check your resovoir for a stream of
small bubbles in it if you see any of these signs you have an
expensive fix ahead Unsure

Some external coolant leaks are as obvious as other ones. The 1st thing to do would be to pressure test the system and verify no external leaks, after that then testing for internal leaks would come into play.
