Dissapearing Coolant - 02 Grand Cherokee 4.7L V8

Disappearing coolant in my 02 Grand Cherokee 4.7 L V8. Heater core replaced this past spring. No issues with the engine running, no white smoke, no milky substance on the oil dipstick, temperature runs fine, as well as oil level, however a bit of white or condensate substance on the inner cap of the oil fill. Doesn't miss a beat doing 80 MPH on the expressway, but I've put damn near a half a bottle of antifreeze in the last two days (In Michigan it's been relatively cold lately). No visible leak on the ground, however, when I drove through the snow yesterday (18" high) some antifreeze showed up on the higher snow, but nothing was dripping. I'm hoping this isn't a head gasket or head because it runs great, but I don't want to keep driving it if it's going to cause damage before I can get it fixed. Need your thoughts or anything I can try at home before potentially dropping a lot of money.
