An easy way to check for internal engine coolant loss is to pull the dip stick after the engine is warm and look at the oil. If the oil looks normal with no froth or bubbles or milky color, you are OK.
Well, yes and no. No cloudy/milky oil means collant isn't mixing with oil, but it COULD be going into combustion chamber (smell exhaust) or leak to outside.
Check the radiator cap - look around it for signs of leakage, and you may want to replace it. All the posts were things to check.
