Default Cooling System Problems

I have a 1994 Bonneville with only 53,000 miles. It is losing coolant and no one cane seem to find out where it is going. It'* not on the ground or in the oil and a thorough inspection seems to to show no signs of leaking. Anyone have any thoughts?

The tank is where I notice the coolant missing from. Also the car does not seem to run hot.

Wouldn't that show up as coolant in the oil and make the oil milky looking? If so the oil looks fine.
