Do you get any white smoke on start-up? Could be the early signs of the head gasket going.

Pop the plugs out and see if one is cleaner than the others. Sometimes the case when burning coolant. Double check the connections at the pipes, and check all over the rad for signs of leak, either a damp patch or crusting, can be hard to see especially if it's in a hidden area.
