Where is the coolant leak in a 1997 Ford Taurus with no puddles no dripping but you can smell it and it goes through a quart of coolant in a week?
Make sure you use antifreeze, then after it's had a chance to leak a little, examine the underside of the water pump. If the pump is leaking you'll see a trace of green deposits where the coolant has been leaking.
If the water pump is ok, examine the radiator. If there is green around the edge of the tanks of the radiator, you need to repair or replace the radiator.
Same with the hoses.
Check the coolant overflow/reservoir tank - they develop hairline cracks and leak very slowly.
Also, a radiator shop would be able to pinpoint your problem with pressure testing the system. Takes all the guesswork out of the problem/fix.
