Default coolant leakage

My 93 is leaking coolant somewhere but there isnt ever a spot on the ground. It will last for like 3 weeks and then the sensor will go on. My guess is that its leaking on the block but i dont know where to check. Any ideas?
Oh yeah is it normal for these cars to go through a little oil between changes.

You're heater core is probably bad.

Do you smell anti-freeze when you turn on the interior heater?
or have problem with windshield fogging up?

The drain hole is on the firewall, passanger side, check see if it is wet at all.

Pressure test it.

My car was losing coolant regularly with no visable leaks and I pressure tested it and coolant poured out of the intake gaskets.
