I am losing about couple of ounces antifreeze every week. There appear to be no apparent leaks on the ground. Its hard to notice because I park on grass drive way. The last mechanic said he didn't see any hos e leaks. He said your head gasket could be starting to go bad. But the car runs smoothly and there is no visible smoke coming out of exhaust. I seem to notice the antifreeze is low when I have the AC turned on in this current hot weather. What do you think is the problem

It's not your headgasket. It is the coolant reservoir. It leaks down the inner fender and can be hard to spot a leak. It only leaks when the coolant is under pressure and hot. 99% reservoir 1% might be the seal to the t-stat housing which whill leak into the engine valley also making the leak hard to see.

Ps. I recommend not going back to that repair shop. They should be able to find a leak.
