Loosing Coolant....
I'm kinda afraid to ask... But I don't know where to start. I can smell the cooland leak when I shut the car down. But I wouldn't even know where to begin looking.
There are no OBVIOUS puddles or anything...
I'm having to refill every week or so though...
How large is the cooling system? As far as capacity?

No leak...but cooling system going down = BAD
The water pump or coolant hoses would be the first place to look for a leak. Easiest way is to pressurize the system and look for leaks....there are tools available for this that make it easy
If there are no leaks...pull the plugs and hope you dont see/smell coolant...then you will need a new engine
It should be covered up to 100K miles under warranty though

On my last car I was losing coolant and never figured it out. Until I replaced the coolant reservoir it had a small crack in it. It would start to leak when the car was fully warmed up then it would spill onto the hot engine and evaporate.
