Missing Coolant

Missing Coolant
I have a 98 VDP with 132,000 miles. For the past month I have notice that my coolant has been mysteriously disappearing. Each morning I have to put in about half a pint, sometimes a pint if I drive a lot. I do not see any drips on the ground but do smell anti-freeze. I replaced the water distribution pipe last summer. The water pump has no unusual sounds and spins evenly. However, I do see gunk around the water pump side of the lower front of the engine.
Does anyone have any ideals or suggestions.
Thanks

RE: Missing Coolant
engine oil is good. no signs of water. i pulled the plugs and they are dry, too, so no cracked block.
i took the car into the shop and they did a pressure test. they said that there was no major leak. (i could have told them that) i assumed they inspected the water pump, but who knows. i many replace the thermostat, maybe it is sticking a little.
