coolant issue :(
i keep losing coolant...
i've had my car overheat twice in the last 3 wks because of low coolant
there's no leaks that i've been able to see... i check my parking spot every morning before i go to work and it's dry
any ideas? i'm thinking i might have a pin hole leak in one of the hoses?!?

Check around your water pump. I had the same issue last year. My car's reservoir would be completely empty every 2 weeks. Never could find a puddle under the car. I looked around the water pump and could see the green residue from where the coolant was pooling on top of the transmission. I guess it was only leaking while I was driving along. I replaced the water pump and seal and she has been good to go every since.

BABY_Jag, take a look at your overflow bottle. If you look on the front edge of it, you will see where there is a hose coming off of the bottom of the tank. Look closely and see if you spot a white circle on the tank going around that connection. This hole is known for cracking and leading to exactly what you are saying. Granted, could be the water pump is someone tightened the belt too much too.
