Coolant wasted issue PLEASE HELP!!

Hello everyone, i have a big issue i hope you guys can help me with this, i have an evo 8 than was working perfect with the engine temperature, but since 1 months ago i start loosing coolant from the reservoir, when i drive the car normally goes OK, but when i do a hard drive it start loosing from the reservoir, i tried with different radiator cap, i have check the plugs and has no sign of coolant i made the pressure test and it's OK, my thermostat opens and my temperature gauge runs normal a little lest than half, i have tried everything and so far i cant get with the problem, any idea?

what do you mean your loosing it? is it coming out of the overflow tube? if there is no sign of leakage or it burning off there could be an airbubble in you system. change any coolant lines lately?

yes it's coming out of the overflow tube, you can see coolant in my front wind splitter by the reservoir tank

It's most likely the HG. The cometics just don't last.
