Engine Cooling problem
1991 BMW 318 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

91 BMW 318i. I not long ago replaced my radiator, water pump, and thermostat with all of the necessary gaskets and seals. I've noticed my coolant level creeping lower and lower after a while and I can't find any puddles, white smoke, or coolant in the oil. I need to replace my valve cover gasket and fan clutch but I'm not sure if either of them would cause a leak. Would you have any ideas as to where it could be going? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check inside the car on the driver side, underdash right of throttle pedal back l side of center console.
I would say that your heater core is draining down coolant.F you see green stains on carpet.

Have the system pressure tested, that should reveal the leak.
