First thing is to check your pressure cap, if it's not holding pressure,
your boiling point will be lower and water will be turning to steam and
disappearing.  One giveaway is if you hear a bubbling sound (boiling) when
your engine is off (engine hot).  Advance Auto Parts has pressure testers
you can borrow.  If in doubt, install a new pressure cap (they're cheap).
