Where is the anti-freeze going?
I just came back in from topping up the anti-freeze in the tank. I can now drive 5 km or 500 km and at the end of the journey the tank will again be about 1" below the cold fill line.
I haven't seen any leaks anywhere. Is this the result of an air pocket? |

I'd start by replacing the rad cap.

I had a small leak at the after run water pump. It was hard to find as the water would vapourize immediately as its so hot. Its located on the passenger side firewall. I replaced this along with the hoses and that solved my problem.
Worst case, you may have a head gasket leak. Check to see if you have any oil residue or film in the expansion tank. |

I meant to say, the coolant pump is on the passenger side, mounted on the inner fender.
