If you have to add coolant to your car you have a leek somewhere. If it's taking 2-3 weeks it could be a small leek that's not very noticeable.
Check for leeks around the firewall, around the TB and of course the radiator hoses. Coolant goes up to the TB and most people don't look there if they don't know about it. Also check to see if your floorboard is wet, you could be leeking from the heater core.

If nothing else autozone (and i'm sure any local car shop) sells a UV kit for find leeks. You add some chemical into your coolant that makes it glow under UV light. I didn't see a price on it, but it'd be your safest bet on finding it.
