The coolant container gets completely empty over a night if the car is parked on the hill. I changed radiator in my VW but all in vain. What else can be the problem. Mechanics said that can't find where it leaks from. What can it be and how much

Look under the vehicle before you drive it and after you drive it to see if anything looks wet from the antifreeze leak. Sometimes the leak is hidden under the waterpump's "weep-hole" which is right under the pulley shaft and lets coolant leak out when the bearing starts going bad. If you have a separate radiator cap on top of the radiator, make sure to take the cap off and top off the radiator coolant when the engine's cold.

water pump maybe. or hoses to the heater core that you cant really see.
why did you replace the radiator. If it was from corrosion due to neglect then theres a good chance your water pump seal has been done in too.

There is nothing wrong.
When the engine cools down, it sucks the reservoir dry.
You will notice it says on the side of the reservoir "cold level"
Top it off when it cold.
