It could be a minor head gasket problem. If the leak is a small leak it would just hit the engine and evaporate. Can you smell anti freeze? Check your water pump, see if it's wet on the bottom. Most water pumps have weep holes, when coolant is leaking from these weep holes, it's an indicator of a failing water pump.

What causes car to lose antifreeze?

If you are referring to antifreeze loss in an early Ford Focus, I can tell you that this is typical. The thermostat housing mounted to the engine block is plastic and is notorious for warping and developing a leak. The only way to fix this is R&R the housing. I recommend an aluminum one that is less prone to warping in the future.
