If that is your only symptom (i.e.: no visible leaks under the vehicle when parked) it sounds like you may have a leaking head gasket which is allowing the coolant to leak either into the cylinder(s) or into the lubricating oil. Check your dipstick - if the oil looks foamy or milky it is leaking into the engine lubricating oil, if not it is likely going into the combustion chamber and being blown out the tailpipe as vapor. If you're losing a 1/2 gallon fo coolant a day you are losing a LOT - get it looked at ASAP.
