I've got a slight coolant leak and i'm having to put a 1/2 litre of water in every couple of days, when the engine's cold bringing it up to the water level. Weird thing is I drove 500 miles Tuesday/Wednesday and it used very little water. Seems pottering about excacerbates the leak. Anybody experienced similar as I can't quite see where the leaks coming from?

Check the head gasket (rear, usually drips off of the cat sensor). I used to work for BMW and had to do loads of these. Also, like the V8's they had their fair share of engine problems (possibly head/block warped etc.
If it was HGF would I notice anything other than water loss? I remember HGF on a Vaux Astra 1.8 GTE I had and the engine warning light came on, car wouldn't go etc.
By all intents and purposes, all I've got is fluid loss and the drip is visible from the front of the car. the drip is coming from i'd say half way inbetween the front number plate and the nearside headlamp. Make sense?
