I would like to know where the coolant is going and I would like to figure out if my fan is good or not.

Thank you.
Usually the coolant is leaking somewhere. I'd first advise a pressure test of the system and search for any leaks.

If you are sure that you have no leaks, then the coolant is disappearing into the oil via a bad head gasket or a cracked head. An oil analysis will confirm this. Don't delay in diagnosing this issue. Coolant is not healthy for bearings and camshafts if it accumulated to any significant amount. I had the same issue on my SD. Had a cracked head that needed replacement.
