If there really is no leak then it is likely a head gasket allowing coolant to leak into the cylinder and go out the exhaust as steam.

When you do a coolant system pressure check and there are no leaks why is the car still losing coolant?
Obviously, you are losing coolant from some part of the system. Did you do a pressure check or did you simply do a visual inspection? Coolant may be lost by evaporation or you may have a gasket leak which would allow coolant to transfer to the engine oil. Check the oil dipstick after the car has run long enough to get it to an operating temperature where the thermostat has opened up. If the oil looks foamy, I would do a cylinder pressure check. If the values you get are more than 10 pounds different, I would suspect you have a blown head gasket.
