LOOSING COOLANT 850 1994

MY WAGON IS LOOSING COOLANT, AND I DONīT KNOW WHERE IT GOES. I FILL IT TO THE MAX LEVEL, DRIVE A DOZEN OF MILES AND THE LOW LEVEL COOLANT WARNING LIGHTS UP.
THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE NEVER PASSES THE MIDDLE OF THE SCALE, AND THE CAR RUNS VERY WELL.
IN THE PAST I HAD A TOP RADIATOR HOSE PUNCTURED AND REPLACED, A CRACKED COOLANT TANK AND A CRACKED RADIATOR (WHERE THE TOP TUBE BOLTS ON IT), ALL OF THIS IN A TWO YEARS PERIOD. NEVER HAS OVERHEATED, UNLESS I HAVE A BAD TEMPERATURE READING.
WHERE CAN I HAVE A PROBLEM? COOLANT TANK CAP (MINE IS GREEN AND SAYS 150psi), BLOWN HEAD GASKET, CAUSING EXCESSIVE PRESSURE WHEN THE TURBO BOOSTS, THERMOSTAT?
WOULD APERICIATE IF ANY OF YOU COULD HELP-ME.

    This was happening to me last winter; turned out to be a broken heater-core! check to see if the carpet area around the pedals is damp/wet? I assume you're not seeing any fluid on the ground when you park, right???

      Thanks in advance, had already checked for wetness on carpet, and all is dry. Am not seeing any fluid on the ground when i park also. Going to check heater hoses and some others on the back, i think are connected to the turbo.
      water pump has about 30000Km and the car 230000Km.
