how much coolant are you using? do you smell it anywhere? my 94 was driving me crazy for the past 6 months, I would need to add coolant every few weeks but could not find the leak, every now and then I could smell it but no visible leaks (I never did pressure test it though since the leak wasn't too bad) turns out a hose finally let loose, the clamp was cutting into it butit didn't leak all the time. very strange but it was soft and when I was tugging on the hose it ripped and then leaked badly.
so start with do you smell it anywhere, how is the oil (hopefully clean), do you have any film on the windshield or wetspots on the passanger floor (eliminate the heater core) do you have anymore smoke or moisture from the exhaust (you can generaly smell it from the exhaust or get the sweet tast in your mouth if it is burning the coolant. check all hose clamps and if still no luck pressure test the system.
