Coolant disappears somewhere

I have an Evo VIII from 2004 , last time we did w my friends a 300KMs road trip, after it i checked all the fluids in my car, and i realized some coolant is loss from the radiator, around 0.5L was the missing amount. Coolant temperature and everything was fine, car didnt heat over, the engine worked totally good and strong.
A week later we did again a ride trip around 200KMs, i checked the coolant after it ,its missing again around 0.4-0.5L.
I went under the car check there are any leaks or not , but it was dry everywhere. The car is not smoking white, it has normal smoke.
These trips was not a cruising like, we used those horses hard...so the engine was under load all the way.

Any tips where my coolant going, or its normal? :|

Have you done a compression test?

How about a simple coolant system pressure test?

Either leaking, being forced out of the overflow, or being combusted. Hope for the leaking part.
