If you are absolutely sure there are no external leaks then you probably have a weak head gasket and the coolant is being pulled into the cylinders and burned with the fuel.

Why coolant leaks when engine is off but heat wont work when engine running?
The heat is not working because you are very low on coolant, probably because of the leak. Seems to me that it should leak worse when it is running, so I am going to assume you are talking about the coolant overflowing the reservoir, in which case goes back to you being low on coolant and the engine boiling the coolant.
