Cant find water leak

Ever since ive owned the car it leaked water. I fixed a leak coming out of the crappy O rings in the connection of the carby manifold onto the motor, cant see it leaking at all anymore, in fact I cant see a leak Anywhere. But its still leaking, less than before but a fraction and its pissing me off. Any ideas if u cant see it leaking anywhere? Could it be using up water somewhere? Car runs fine not a problem really.

Feel the carpet on the trans tunnel, under the dash and see if it is wet. The heater core could be leaking.

UH OH, are you seeing a puddle , droplets anywhere?

If no water anywhere, you could have a bad inner O ring in the block, leaking a small amount of coolant in the combustion chamber
