Default coolant leak

i have a kodiak 450. the thermostat went out on me. i replaced it but it still loses coolant i cannot find any hoses leaking or radiator leaking. i can ride the quad for about one day and the radiator is empty then i have to fill the radiator up again. any suggestions would be great to fix this problem thanks

nitrogen is a form of gas and u might kno they put it in car tires now if u want it. nitro is used in heating and airconditioning alot to leak test systems. when u put it in u should hear where the leak is and if ur coolant is gone in a day it should come out fast and prob very noticable, sound wise. now to get it u might have to ask around. if u know any HVAC guys that have a bottle. tire places have it, i dont kno if they can fill u a can or not but all u need is enough to kno where the leak is. if ur coolant is gone in a day u should be able to feel around and see where ur line is wet. that might be easier if u cant get nitro.
