Why would a 1991 Ford Explorer keep losing coolant if there is no white smoke and no signs of a leak and is there an inexpensive way to fix it?

Check the passenger's floor- it is probably wet. A bad heater core maybe the culprit.

Why does your Chevy Lumina heater not work?
check your coolant ASAP. If your coolant is low, you see any signs of oil in the coolant, or signs of coolant in the oil you may be losing it to a gasket leak. Have a mechanic check your intake manifold gasket. This is huge problem with the 3.1L engines and can lead to engine failure if not fixed early. Signs of oil in coolant would be stuff floating in the reservoir and muddy colored coolant. Signs of coolant in the oil could be lots of white vapor (water) in exhaust and light tan foamy stuff on the oil fill cap or around the hole for the cap. For no heat, there are other things you could check like your thermostat and water pump but the failed gasket will kill the engine. I only mention this because the heater in my Lumina took 10-15 minutes when it did work and not getting my gasket fixed killed the engine.
Is losing engine coolant normal?
Losing a small quantity over a considerable time is not unusual,but if you are using alot like over a week say,then something definitely wrong.Check for small leaks around all hoses and if engine heats up too quickly or if there are signs of over-heating.

Where in a 2001 ford explorer using a gallon of coolant per week with no visible external leaks dry passenger floor no white smoke and no milkshaking in the oil is the coolant going?
it is possible to have a small leak on the head gasket ,enough to let the coolant still leak into the clyinders and will account for a gallon to go weekly,and still show no signs of white smoke in the exhaust,also might want to check around the radiator fill neck to make sure it does not show a sign of cracks,this can cause coolant to vaporize out of the radiator and you will never see it leaking.....

Those are signs of a blown head gasket or a cracked cylinder head.

Sounds like a head gasket issue, or worse, your head could be cracked. Check your exhaust - that's probably where your coolant is going.
What signs are there for a blown valve gasket?
Valves have seals instead of gaskets and if one was bad you would have oil on the spark plug for that cylinder if you were to take it out and inspect it. A bad valve cover gasket would leak oil on the outside of the engine. a bad head gasket would put oil and/or pressure into the coolant system, coolant into the combustion chamber causing white smoke, or coolant into the oil. signs of a blown head gasket can be:- coolant leaking outside of engine from head/block area,coolant in engine oil, oil in radiator,over heating of engine.loss of pwer.loss of coolant from coolant resevoir, smell of coolant while driving, and not being able to tell where it is coming from
