losing radiator fluid Options

[kaboom16]

i just rebuilt my 5sfe motor about two months ago and have had no problems at all and it runs great other than i recently noticed my anti freeze was low so i filled it back up and checked it about two days later and noticed it was low again and im not sure what might be going on. and i dont have any in my oil and the head was pressure checked and what not before rebuild so im sure its not that so any ideas or help would be greatly apreciated.

ok well if i did have a bad head gasket and since the coolant would be entering the combustion chamber wouldnt it be smoking or steaming out my exhaust? and sorry if it seems like im questioning you im just trying to troubleshoot

well i will try and run a pressure check on it today and let it run for awhile and check all my hoses. everybody thanks for the help and ill keep you posted

if its a small leak then it would all most likely be burnt up b4 it got out of your exhaust, an easy way to tell would be to run the car for an hour or so, then let it sit for a while till it cools comp. then pull your spark plugs and look for fluid on your pistons. good luck, and let us know.
