Noticed that the header tank was empty every time i looked so thought i best check it out, found the water pump was dripping so got a new one and fitted it, problem solved or so i thought till today when i looked and it was right down at the bottom of the tank again, where is it going.
The water is clean and o it the oil so dont think there is a head gasget problem. the pump is fine now and cant see any drips anywhere plus i never find pools under the car but it goes somewhere?

After I changed the radiator, it emptied the expansion tank twice before all the air got out of the system, I like you was convinced it was leaking somehwere until the level remained constant. Give it a couple of fills before worrying too much?
