TX Vanishing Coolant...Help!

Yes I AM indeed BURNING coolant when the car runs... Only a minimal amount. Maybe 0.2oz or less a day. However my problem is I park the car come back, all the coolant is gone and no puddles/stains under the car WHATSOEVER...

The car sits for 28-32days at a time as I work offshore / overseas. I have to put 1 gal or so of coolant in the car every time I return. I drive the car for 10 days then put her back to bed in the shop.

Rebuild coming in march / may... Any ideas on where to look for my lost coolant until then? No obvious pinholes / leaks to the naked eye that I can find.
Any ideas, suggestions, comments, or anything productive would be greatly appretiated! Thank you!

I have the same issue, though after a month I only have to add a little less than a quart of coolant. I believe mine is due to a gasket leak. If you leave it for about a month at a time, you sure it's not spilling and drying up?
