Default Where is the anti freeze going

I have a 04.5 sp 500 which utill now have had no problems with,untill now.
1st problem,Its loosing antifreeze some where.I cant find any leaks,Its not in the oil,the fan works.Where else can it go????

2nd I had to replace the battery awhile ago,ever sence then the battery light will flash now and then. I test the battery and have got around 12.5v.When the battery light starts to blink ,if I turn on the head lights ,the battery light stops blinking.At the same time this started the digital parts of the speedo light up but nothing changes,trip meter,rpms,.the speedo needle works fine.



Thanks fellas

As for the anti-freeze question............If it's not leaking anywhere................Then you must be burning it...........Caper.....

look for white smoke and a sweet smell. this means its burning it. unless its blowing out the overflow tank and your not noticing it. did you check the battery volts while its running? it should be at least 13.5 and above when idled up. if not then the recifier or modual is bad.
