Add coolant light, no presure on cooling system...

hi, i have a little problem with coolant... I was driving the car today and the add coolant light come on. I stopped and add coolant.. the light turns off... after 10 minutes it happens again... i opened the cup whith the engine on and there was no presure in the system, the temp is correct, but there is no presure and the system is loosing a lot of water...
there is no smoke
what could it be, bad radiator cap, coolant seals?

thanks

You are just gonna have to look under your car and check your radiator/hoses, etc for leakage.. if you can't find any try to pay attention to your exhaust, is it smoking?

i cant find a leakage and there is no smoke coming from the exhaust. The part that i dont understand is the presure of the system, how can the engine be running at normal temp and the presure that low...

i took out the radiator cup and blew into the system... there is a leakage somewhere near the water pump, i think that maybe is the gasket between the pump and the engine...
i hope thats the only problem, because if the coolant seals are gone i will kill myself....
do youu think that that could cause the low pressure and the loose of coolant?
thanks, and sorry for my english...
