you could also check your oil to see if anything but oil is in it.....ie...antifreze.

When you say it's using all the coolant, how are you determining this? Is the car overheatting?

yeah is your car overheating?
or is your overfill tank emptying?
also are you sure your radiator is filled and there is no air bubbles in your line
