Losing antifreeze

I’ve been losing antifreeze. I found spots that were wet and made the repair. Sometimes when I start the car in the morning I hear a sound like water going though a pipe. When I take the cap off of the radiator the antifreeze is to the full mark. I can see the antifreeze in the reservoir get lower over time to where there’s nothing in it at all. Come someone help me out with this. I don’t an expensive repair or my vehicle being held up for days in a shop.

A gurgling sound around the waterfall is usually a symptom of low coolant.
There is no radiator cap, do you mean the pressure cap?
The overflow tank should have a lot in it when hot, not so much when cold. The coolant moves back and forth.
The cold level in the tank:

That gurgling can be an indication of air in the system.
Give it a good burping
