you can pressure test the system and see if there is in water leaking externally and also look to see if its leaking out the exhaust pipe and listen in the pipe to listen for air....
you can get a chemical tester that sits on the radiator and if there is any exhaust fumes getting into the coolant then the fluid will turn from blue to yellow and that doesn't lie and is the best way to check for bad head gasket.....snap sells em for 60 bucks i believe.
some check first is to see if there is water in your oil or perhaps looks like there is more in there than should be in there, also look for any oil in your coolant.....if everything checks out there then you can just be losing it into your exhaust.....let me know how it goes and we'll go from there.
also check your passenger floor board for mositure
