If it is the radiator cap then why am I not seeing any leaks? Is it slowly coming out and burning off?

Because the radiator cap isn't holding enough pressure.
You heat up the engine, coolant pressure builds up, blow water/steam out the overflow into the reservoir, the reservoir fills up, eventually overflows WHILE you're driving, or just the water/steam kinda boils off in the reservoir, runs out on the road or just kinda steams off, evidence of the leaks goes away, you shut off the engine, coolant cools down, contracts, pulls fluid back in from the reservoir, and you're reservoir level goes down...

Take the explanation or leave it. Not saying you don't actually have a leak somewhere, but the evidence you are presenting suggests this is a likely scenario...and I'm out...

Is it just me, or does the majority overlook the obvious?

Somebody ate a whole bag of dumbass for breakfast.

Why do people continue to run a vehicle when a warning light comes on or starts flashing? Isn't that a clue that something is wrong and you probably should NOT drive it?
Is this whole car driving thing really freekin' brain surgery?

And if you can read this, you don't need glasses! :)

And yes, I am diggin' it...

You could have a blown head gasket. Perform a compression test on all cylinders. If you find a bad cylinder, follow that up with a leakdown test which can verify if there is a blown head gasket.

Also there are test kits is available at most auto parts stores to test for the presence of exhaust gases in the coolant which are usually a sign of a blown head gasket..
