Why does my car go through so much antifreeze?

    I fill up the antifreeze in my car all the time. I probably fill it up every 500 miles or so. It has been doing this for over a year so I'm pretty sure it's not the head gasket. Plus I just replaced that a couple of years ago. There is never any antifreeze on the ground under the car either. Does anyone know what I have to replace so I don't keep spending so much money on antifreeze? Thanks!

    Perhaps you are not flushing the radiator or not flushing it correctly. Also, you need to use high-quality anti-freeze - the kind with ethyl-glycol. Finally, make sure the thermostat and hoses don't need to be replaced. Can anyone on here note any other things that can help us save money on anti-freeze?
