I have had the same thing happen. I figured it out when my battery on
the firewall kept getting wet with coolant.

Thanks Bill. Other people have suggested the water pump. It's
possible that the engine is evaporating the coolant drip trail, so I
can't see it.

I'm going to replace it, the thermostat and serpentine belt all at the
same time.

Hey Nick,
While you're there, go ahead and replace those hoses.
It's probabaly time.

For my `89 XJ it was a pinhole in the coolant overflow bottle ghosting
away my coolant.
