Default mysterious loss of coolant from our 2006

Our 2006 is loosing coolant. Not a lot of miles on it, I think around 65K. Sometimes, after driving it, I can smell the coolant. But, for the life of me, I don't see any leaks or seepage anywhere. Very mysterious. It's running great and not producing smoke out the tailpipe.

Any thoughts on where to look?

Thanks!

water pump?

my 06 lost some coolant, none on the ground, jack the front up crawl under and see if the weep hole is leaking,

or first go to autozone, get there loaner radiatior pressure tester, then pressureize the system and crawl under and check

It could also be a Intake manifold gasket too.
