Default Coolants going somewhere, but where?

I have a very slow coolant leak somewhere. It has leaked from full to just above the fill mark over the past couple months. Plugs look fine with no evidence of coolant in the exhaust, and I can't find evidence of a leak anywhere under the hood. I put in a 50/50 mixture of pentosin (per instructions) when I did the timing belt about 15k ago. I thought I smelled a faint coolant smell yesterday while standing outside the car as it idled, but could'nt be certain. This ones got me puzzled. Can anyone think of anything?

Thanks,

Travis

get an oil analysis, it could be your oil cooler.
