2013 5.0 going through about a gallon of anti freeze

Hey guys,
I did a search and have eliminated the usual suspects (heater core - passenger floorboard is not wet; nothing on the ground; rolled under and see nothing).
My truck just hit 60k and it seems the fans keep kicking on. I am now putting about a gallon of the 50/50 in about every 2-3 weeks. Ford had replaced the water pump about 10k ago, but I am not seeing any other signs of where the antifreeze is going.
I am down in FL and I sit in a lot of traffic with the AC blasting, but I do not really recall ever adding antifreeze to any of my vehicles - and certainly not at this rate.

Any ideas of things I should check?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Look at the hose that connects to the bottom of the expansion tank. They are know to leak fluid, there is a kit for the repair.
