Alright, newly replaced radiator, upper and lower coolant hoses, no leaks visable there. No leaks from heater hoses, no wet carpet inside, and coolant reads 0 hydrocarbons, so where oh where is roughly 32 oz every 3-5 days going?!?!?

Park the car with the engine situated roughly in the middle of the paper.
Start the motor and leave it idling while you go have a beer.
Find the wife/girlfriend and bring her to the garage after about an hour.
Remove car from above the paper and ask wife/gf to roll around naked on the paper - I can guarantee you she will find the wet spot and you will know the exact location of the liquid leak and the answer to the mystery.

I would try the radiator cap first. Not only because it's the cheapest, but because if you can't find any leak it's most likely the cap isn't holding pressure on the system and the water is boiling at a lower tempature than usual.

+1 for rad cap, then +1 for water pump.
Had a similar problem - and couldn't see the puddle 'cause I have a gravel driveway. Went to a conference one week, and saw the puddle under the car (and following the slope of the underground parkade).
