Several.
Head gasket leaking, Internally or externally. Radiator tanks. Hoses. Cap on header tank. Water pump. Heater core. Are you seeing any signs of leaked coolant, on the ground or around the engine bay?

They are piss easy once you know how to remove it properly, and have the right tools.

Everyone expects the worst up front the head gasket!! check the basics first like the reservoir cap (check for cracks on the seal or water coming from the overflow hose when engine is at running temp) Check all hoses for crack and signs of water marks (green stains if you're using coolant) if all is ok then have a pressure test on the cooling system. That will then proove if its welsh plugs or head gasket. you may also have a compression test done to confirm head gasket. If you're loosing 2 ltrs a day it should be easy to find.
