Have you checked the motor oil to see is it appears milky brown? The coolant has to go somewhere and if it not an external internal, then it's entering inside the engine. Headgasket maybe? Another possibility is a heater cord leak; dose it small sweet in the cabin?

Check your water pump. It may be on its last leg.

If you filled the overflow container up with the engine coolant low,the cooling system would pull the coolant back into the cooling system as it cooled. And it will keep doing this until the cooling sytem is full. Take the radiator cap off and see if the coolant is up to the overflow inlet. That quantity of coolant is bound to show up somewhere. Regards

My V6 did the same thing. Waterpump for sure. Toyota covers it under warranty, if you still have some remaining

Hey guys thanks for the info... I just took my car in today and hopefully they can fix this... I told them it might be the waterpump like you guys said and he said most likely it is.
