If there are no external leaks then the coolant has to be going out the exhaust pipe. Coolant leaving via the exhaust system usually means bad head gasket, cracked cylinder head or on some vehicles a bad intake manifold or gasket. Running a compression test may pinpoint the problem.

And ,, if you already don't have enough bad news ,,, antifreeze will destroy a catalytic convertor
