My acura Legend is overheating. I have checked and ensured the Radiator fan, switch, relay all work.

I fill up with coolant and within a week the level drops drastically. There are no visible leaks from my radiator.
What could be the problem? Radiator blockage or gasket head. What should I do first?
Thanks,

With the coolant dissappearing that quick and no visible leaks this is not a radiator blockage. The engine is running on water so to speak. It is leaking into the combustion chamber. Most likely a head gasket.
