You need to pressure test the cooling system to find the leak.

Don't rush the dye idea. It leaves quite a mess if it isn't absolutely necessary. If there is an external leak, it will show eventually under pressure. If the pressure drops without anything external, it may be an internal issue like a blown head gasket.
