Then you have a leak. Invest in a pressure test or buy the kit at Harbor Freight for about $70 (about what the shop would charge to do it). Easy to do. I never need to add coolant to my '99 with 165k.
Unless you have white smoke and sweet smell out the exhaust. Then it's your head gasket. Hope that's not the answer.
