Cars loose Anti Freeze for one or more of the following reasons:
1. A leak in the radiator, or a broken radiator hose, or somewhere from the engine block.
2. If the antifreeze radiator an reservoir are overfilled, then when the engine heats up and expands the antifreeze. It has nowhere to go but out the overflow tube.
3. There is a crack in either the intake manifold or heads Gaskets, allowing the engine's vacuum to suck up the antifreeze slowly and burn it up with the fuel/air detonations. If severe enough, it will cause white smoke to come out with the exhaust fumes.
