I don't smell the coolant leakage nor visible evidence, but it does seem to get low pretty quickly compared to other cars I have owned. Today I was able to get the factory coolant from the dealership, and they recommended using the "super blue" instead of a universal 50/50 coolant from an autoparts store.
Upon doing more research, there are multiple theories on this forum:
Water evaporating since our engines run hot, and the reservoir cap is not air-tight.
Head gasket leakage
Radiator leakage
White smoke from exhaust after shutting car off indicates a possible radiator fluid leak, possible pump failure
low pressure cylinder head causing a leak (not exactly sure how this affects coolant)
The last 4 situation sounds a bit scary, while I was reading the 10 page coolant issue on this forum. I really hope its situation #1.
