Coolant Disapeared?

Coolant Disapeared?
My mods are in my sig. I noticed the other day my car started overheating and I checked the fluid and it was empty. What really confuses me is that I filled it up about 2 months before that. I haven't noticed any white mist from the tail pipe or any major leaks.
The car seems to run fine. what do you guys think is going on? Should I check the oil to see if theres any sign of coolant in the system.

, this isnt advanced tech.
Anyway, There is only a few places coolant can go: on the ground from a leak in the piping or pump, in the passenger compartment from a leaking heater core, in the combustion chambers and out the exhaust from a cracked head/block/gasket, or into the oil from a head gasket leak.

You've been having some horrible luck lately, when you screwed up your heads a few weeks back did you have them checked for cracks?
you might be lifting the heads a bit, pressuring the coolant and forcing it out of the overflow tank and you'd never now.....
Pull the heads again, have them checked out and cleaned up and put new gaskets on the car.
