use a coolant pressure tester to find where its leaking from.did you see any fog on the inside of the windshield.heater core.intake gaskets,hoses
casting plugs.

No doubt i'd be checking the heater core... check the A/C drain for signs of coolant, and feel the floor underneath your glovebox... see if it's damp.

Fill the radiator, drive around til it gets warm, pop the hood and look at all your hoses and rad for pin holes. Then shut the car off and wait for a couple minutes to see if anything comes out of the weep hole on the water pump or out the overflow.
