check the overflow pipe to see if it's wet,,if not check the radiator hoses,then the heater pipe going around the engine.

When my falcon was loosing coolant, it turned out to be the heater tap. They are half plastic and half metal, and they always seem to corrode, might be worth checking that.

if its not something obvious like a hose, check the heater tap, or the water pump
heater tap is located under the inlet manifold, sorta half way between the dizzy and the firewall, youo can see if easy from underneath. the water pump is where the clutch fan bolts on, they are pretty common to leak.
