Sometimes an unexplainable coolant loss can be traced to a bad seal in the engine causing coolant to get into the combustion chamber. The engine then burns this off. What you can do is smell your exhaust fumes to see if it smells like coolant, or better yet, see if it tastes like coolant, if you know what coolant tastes like. Coolant burns as white smoke. So if you are getting a bunch of white smoke, that could be it.

I thought coolant could kill you if you swallow it.
