Slow coolant leak + no smell...Intake Gasket Leak?

[Need4Camaro]

I cant smell coolant anywere but every 2 weeks I have to add coolant to the engine, probably about half a gallon. When car is idling, no visual leaks, no leaks anywere - no smell of coolant, just a slow disappearance of coolant... Intake Gasket failing?

More than likely. Look in between the intake manifold and the valve covers. Mine was pooling up there under the injector harness.

No white smoke out of the exhaust?

Might be the coolant elbow from the lower intake manifold. See if you can see steam coming from the ALT. thats how I found mine before.

X2! I have replaced mine twice. Only $3 or $4 at advanced auto parts in help section. Be carefull not to break the new one when reinstalling.

I think that is the most common mystery leak. That is what was causing the leak in mine.
