Losing water?

I know I shouldn't be losing water from my cooling system but does anyone have an explanation as to why I would go through a gallon of water in a little over a month? I don't see any leakage. The car seems to run ok but i have had to refill the radiator twice in the last couple of months.
Could the water pump be leaking when its running? Anyone had a similar problem? Any way to test to see if water IS getting into the engine?

One way to test if water is getting into you engine. Smell you exhaust while it's running. If it smells sweet, you have a bad head gasket. Also, feel the area on the passenger floor board. If your heater core went bad, it will leak around there.

It looks like dirty oil, not milky at all just straight black.
Exhaust just smells like fuel and a little bit of oil on start up (blue smoke) No smoke once its been running 30 seconds.
