dissapearing dexcool

okay so my antifreeze keeps dissapearing. no noticable leaks, no antifreeze smell in the exhaust, and no antifreeze in the oil. thought it was overflowing into my overflow bottle and the hose was gettin pinched when it created vaccum to draw it back in but i replaced that and its still doing it. loses about a half quart very fast. i drove not even 5 miles one time. if it was leakin out i think id see a pretty significant leak. just drove it home about 3 days ago and i made it about 60 miles before the low coolant light came on. its pretty cool out but its never overheated. 60 degrees outside. where could this antifreeze be going? did a coolant flush about a month ago but ive topped it off about 4 times since then so i dont think its air pockets. any help would be appreciated.
thanks

Re: dissapearing dexcool

when you filled it did you turn on your heater so that the antifreeze would fill the heater core also? Shouldn't be as much as your saying but thats a possible place that it could have went. Also check underneath your dash and make sure you don't have a leak inside in the heater core.
