Find someone with a pressure tester - the kind you hook up where the rad cap 
goes, them pump the handle to get pressure. An external leak should become 
obvious after inspecting ALL the lines.

Note:  I was having similar problems - turned out to be a teensy leak in the 
head gasket. Not big enough to affect performance, or see any white smoke 
billowing out. 
You can check this with a tester that sucks up coolant & changes color if any 
traces of exhaust gas have been through it. 

Many big repair chains will check these for free - they want your business, 
but who says they gotta fix it eh? <G>
