Cooling System Wont Hold Water

I've just started noticing this, and it hasnt done it before. All stock pieces, rad., thermostat, waterpump. It seems like the coolant just evaporates, and disappears. Nothing is leaking, I've been under the car a few times since I've noticed this, seen nothing. There are no puddles under the car after its parked, and it seems to run at normal tempature. Everytime I fill up the tank, it disappears, where is all this coolant going?

It wouldn't be leaking into the exhaust, it would be getting burned off in a combustion chamber. Pull all 8 spark plugs and see if any look cleaner than the rest. Check the oil, too.

Head gasket, cylinder wall, cylinder head, intake to cylinder head.
