Loosing Antifreeze

I changed my heater hose from the back of water pump. Put antifreeze in ran it with cap off till it got hot. Air bubbled out the everything settled put cap on. Dont see any leaks but every time i drive it the antifreeze goes down. Checked my oil nothing there don't see anything at tailpipe. Any idea don't know if i just didn't get enough in and everything is settling. I lost a lot when i changed it only put in 2 gallons.

Check the oil to see if it's milky looking. If it's not then you probably didn't put enough in, if it is then the coolant is leaking into the crankcase.
