RE: coolant/ antifreeze
jesus christ guys. gallons of antifreeze per week? come on. this can't be that hard to find. there is only so many places it can be going. heater hoses, rad hoses, water pump, heater core, radiator. thats about it. unless your burning it, which you more than likely would feel during accel.

RE: coolant/ antifreeze
I also had the same problem... there could be many things but here is another thing to check. Every week or so I was getting a low coolant light and could not figure out for the life of me why, could not see any leaking, no white smoke, wasnt a blown head gasket, etc. When I decided to do all my wire hidding I stuck my hand somewhere and felt that it was wet, the drain plug from the radiatorwas not on all the way, because it was being blocked by the charcoal canister, it was areally small leak but over time it kept on draining, just something to check out.

RE: coolant/ antifreeze
with my car i didnt notice any coolant on the ground for a long time it just got low and i had no idea why. then eventually the water pump completely had it and then i saw it all over the ground.... now that i replaced it there is no more problem
