cant find leak
i noticed theres a leak cause evey day i put in 1/4 of a gallon of water in the radiator. i looked around for it but cant find it anywhere, but see the drip, looks like it comming from the back of the motor by the firewall. still have heat and no water leakin inside on passenger floor so its not the heater core i hope, could there be hoses besides the heater core?

Disappearing coolant is a concern so getting a BHG out of the way first is a relief. With the car running, is the leak obvious? Did it leak prior to the cooling system maintenance?
If it didn't, check the thermostat housing to make sure it is properly torqued and sealed to the manifold. As well, the reservoir cap gasket is in good shape. When I do the 30K coolant and thermostat change, I check the cap and at 60K it is replaced just to be sure.
