Have you undone the radiator cap to see if its lost any?
Just looking at the expansion bottle is'nt always enough.
As it loses water, it can often pump a load of air into the system via the cylinders, giving the appearance of no-loss.

How does it smell? Water vapor is a normal combustion byproduct.

I just smelt like normal exaust. =/ it stoped smoking, then i took it down the road, and it started again, not as bad as before tho.

sounds like a blown head gasket or cracked head. Have you checked for water/antifreeze in the oil. I had the same problem in my GMC, but the only way I found the water in the oil was by removing the oil filler cap and looking underneath and finding a white milky substance. Blown head gasket, was my diagnosis. Hope this helps.
