Noticed within the last week that I have been losing water continually from ythe cooling system. Can not find any leaks anywhere and there is no evidence of water leaking out from anywhere. Any ideas for me as far as repair that can be done?

Suspect a leaking cylinder head gasket. To check for that you can add a small bottle of dark purple dye to the coolant reservoir, then check a few days later with a black light. The dye will show up as a bright yellow stain. If the head gasket is leaking you'll find the dye inside the tail pipe.
