Default Overheating; disapearing coolant

So my 1996 7.3 overheats and loses coolant rapidly. I can fill it up and drive ten miles and it will all be gone. I took the bucket off and it doesnt have a hole, so where else can it be leaking at? any suggestions on where its leaking at or how much it will cost to fix it?

Or maybe it disapears because it overheats and it vaporizes?

ummm....

is it smoking a large amount of white, or does the exhaust have a kind of sick sweet smell to it?

because unless you're not seeing all that **** on the ground...you're burning it.

yep, if no puddel under the truck, probably bad head or head gasket.
