Chasing down a MOther F**king coolent Gremlin

GSL-SE block with S4 intake modified to fit did TB mod and so coolant just skips going through there and goes straight to the block

Alright I have replaced the radiator all the hoses the thermostat and the rad cap and I am still losing coolant... rather rapidly... Already checked under the intake... and its really starting to **** me off as its been going on for about 4 months now and a full radiator will last em about a week before its so low I'm in danger of overheating... the weird thing is I have no bubbles, no oil in the coolant, no white smoke, and it will drain just as fast if I don't run the car but I can't find any drip or anything where the car has been parked... I swear to god someone is sneaking into my garage at night and siphoning some out or something... anyone else ever experienced battle with the rotary coolant ninja and won?!?

Damn... I knew I was forgetting something obvious... what specifically should I look for though I'm looking at it but I'm not sure what a leak would look like unless it was gushing out at me... I mean I have no rusty runs or anything obvious... there is a valve at the heater core though right? could that be leaking? if so where is that located I checked the FSM but it was kinda vague about the location of a valve...

Under the passenger carpet. See if it is wet or not.
