I don't lose any coolant in my system now.  The first time I started
to put in coolant every few hundred miles, I later found out that my
cylinder head had a small fracture.

The second time this happened, I later found that I had a small leak
in a coolant hose.  I think that coolant hoses are pretty common
problems in 20 year old vehicles.  Make sure the hoses aren't rubbing
on anything (like the axle).
