With a water cooled alternator, there are lots of extra hoses and fittings around that could be leaking. Look for the tell-tale white deposits around fittings and hose ends. A liter of coolant every 4 days is leaving evidence somewhere..

Two things to consider; first obtain and add a bottle of coolant system infrared dye, then run the car for a day. Second, pressure test the system while looking around with a infrared inspection light in a dimly lit area; where ever the leaks are, you will see a bright fluorescent color from the dye.

Most shops are fully capable of doing this for you and the procedure will find all external leaks quickly.
