Just an idea, but since methanol is more volatile than water, could it be evaporating somewhere
Volitility is an interesting question.

While methanol is more volatile then water, it also is a larger molecule then water. So it comes down to which is more important to the rate of coolant loss- how much pressure the coolant vapor exerts against your seals or how fast the coolant will effuse between the microscopic gaps between the tube and barbs.
