If losing anti freeze but not visible leaking typically means bad head gasket. Antifreeze is leaking into combustion cylinder and therefore evaporating and going out exhaust pipe as steam.

Normal it means your leaking antifreeze from somewhere. Check your levels and look on the ground, some times the vent system can pull in the smell. Check the hoses. Also it can be a leak in the heater core. If so it can be exspensive to replace, mostly because the whole dash normally needs to come out to get to it.

What causes a car to lose antifreeze?
You either have a leak or your engine is using antifreeze. If your engine is using antifreeze, it will usually be caused by a leaking head gasket, cracked head or block. If your engine is using it rather than a leak, pay attention when the car is running. If there is white smoke coming out of the exhaust it is a problem within the engine. If there is a leak, lift the hood and look for steam arising from anywhere, also look on the ground for any antifreeze dripping onto the ground. If all that checks ok get in your car and turn your defroster on. If your window gets covered in moisture and the moisture smells sweet and looks like a weird color, it is your heater core in the dash leaking, also the heater core can make the floor board wet wherever it is located.
