While the car was warm I removed the coolant bottle and found no crack and I followed the hose from bottom of coolant bottle and found no leak. All of the coolant I put in the bottle had drained out in less than 15 minutes.

While the car was warm I removed the coolant bottle and found no crack and I followed the hose from bottom of coolant bottle and found no leak. I added antifreeze to the bottle but it leaked out in less than 15 minutes. Let me add more detail. When I added more antifreeze the engine was off. It was leaking with the engine off.

There are a lot of places it could leak, but if its leaking like that, you need to get it checked out. It could be a faulty hose, the water pump, or the radiator itself has a small leak. Then again, it could be an internal leak in the block of the engine and it is leaking out the header and burning up. Is there a puddle?

There's a leak somewhere. You have to check the radiator, hoses, heater core, engine block. There are lots of places coolant can leak out.

And I take it there are no puddles underneath? It has a blown head gasket, coolant is getting blown out the exhaust or worse yet is in the oil pan, and as the motor cools it sucks coolant from the overflow bottle back into the system
