I can't find a single place where this is leaking and I don't have any steam in the exhaust that would signal a bad head gasket. Anyone know what's going on? Where is this antifreeze going? Oh yeah, the dipstick is clean and there doesn't appear to be any in the oil.

Please help guys and thanks for the input.
Check the gaskets where the water pump bolts to the engine. It is common for it to seep and boil off/dry before it ever tries to drip.
