04 TL chugging coolant

My 04 TL is having an empty coolant overflow tank at least every 1-2 weeks. Just replaced the thermostat and checked the hoses up top. I did notice a small amount on the ground overnight... Throwing po128 code. Everything up top is good...can anyone point me in the direction to check next?

Pressure test the coolant system. You can rent a tool from Autozone/Advance AutoParts

Any luck on finding out what's going on? Mines doing the same thing and now occasionally won't start

OP, you quoted yourself asking whether you have fixed your own problem?
