Coolant Loss ?

94 DODGE CARAVAN V6 3.0L

It is my sisters van, she refuses to look after the van so I have to take care of it. I always check the coolant level, it is ok till one day she says that there is no heat. I go over and the van is low on coolant. I fill it up, rad and resevoir. There are no leaks, no oil in the coolant and no coolant in the oil. There is no excessive steam from the exhaust and no coolant smell inside or outside of the van. It goes low again. I pour in a gallon and a half of 50/50 aprox coolant. I drive the vehicle and the temp gauge stays on or near the cool, except at light it almost goes to the middle. The air temp outside is about 40 degrees. The upper hose is hot, not much pressure, can pinch off with my hand. Can feel slight something running through the hose. Still no smel of coolant or leaks.
what do you think is wrong. ?
