Exclamation Antifreeze coolant

My truck keeps losing the coolant every two weeks and i dont know why it keeps doing that. I have asked the Advanced auto parts about it but the technician doesnt know why my truck keeps losing the coolant so i was wondering if you could help solve my problem. I tried to find the leaking from the coolant and radiator but nothing.

THanks.

Have you checked your oil to see if there's coolant in it? If so, it could be the head gasket leaking.

Someone on the forum just a few weeks ago was talking about a kit you can get to check you coolant for exhaust products in it. Sometimes if you have a coolant leak into the motor it doesn't always go into the oil. You'd have to google it. I don't remember it being to expensive.

take the rad cap off start the truck and let it run for a few minutes. if there is bubbles coming up in your overflow tank you have a leaking head gasket
