Question coolant always low at radiator

I have Ranger D/C 4x4 XLT Engine type WALT 2.5L always low coolant level at radiator.I have checked for below:
1.check any leaks from cooling system (hoses,radiator) :found OK
2.check engine oil include sampling in lab..no indication water going to lube system
3.visual inspection exhaust smoke..normal...not white smoke
4.Replace radiator cup...
5.Fill radiator with prevent coolant leaks additive (Bars leaks).

after top up coolant at radiator and operate normally,engine runnig well without overheating so suspect thermostat in good condition but after cooling down founded coolant at radiator low.

Please advice if any possibility coolant miss?

Is your coolant overflow reservior leaking or overflowing? Is the hose between the radiator and the reservoir good? Coolant should return to your radiator when the engine cools if the reservoir system is working properly.

Check for a hole in the hose between the rad and the reservoir.

Check the freeze plugs, if you have a/c you may be confusing the coolant leak with the a/c condensation.
