Hi all, it's me again :(

I've been adding about a half a gallon of coolant to my radiator every morning before work.
It's 17.something miles one way.

I've checked all I know to check and can't find the leak.
I replaced the rubber plug below the rad cap.
Checked the fitting under the coolant overflow tank.
Looked between the heads and manifold.
Looked around radiator hoses and water pump.
No oil in the water either.

I'm not getting alot of exhaust coninsation either but I believe my converters are ruined anyway.
Is it possible for them to burn off excess water?
I have noticed a white haze from the pass side tailpipe....
Not all the time though and a slight miss.
Scanner says it's no. 4 cylinder

Anyway, I could use some insight as to what my problem might be.

Oh, also haven't noticed any water under the dash, never a puddle where I park either.
