I have recently changed the radiator and fans. New spark plugs and injectors. Recently put in a new thermostat. I have ran a combustion check to check for a head gasket but did not show no sign. I am losing all my coolant but do not see from where. The car runs great just the temperature goes up. What can it be?

Coolant will either burn or leak, you said you did a compression check. Was that on the cylinders or radiator? Some times when putting in a new radiator there may be a vapor lock. If radiator does not show any drop in pressure the vapor lock could be the problem, or it is going in to the cylinders.
