Well, obviously it's leaking somewhere - I suppose you just aren't actually seeing a drip anywhere.
You're best case is that the radiator cap is not holding pressure. Check that first.
Next, you can have a shop perform a classic pressure test to see if the overall cooling system holds pressure. If it doesn't, then the detective work begins: ck hoses, clamps, gaskets. Worst case is an engine block leak, and I think there are ways to check your oil for coolant contamination.
