since i have owned my van (year or so) every week it needs topping up with water as empty, no leaking water (fixed them all) and its not comming out exhaust, spoke to few garages and they said have heard that on quite a few cars as its running i have just left it tbh,

ahh a common problem this time of year, what happens is trolls pop your bonnet during the middle of the night and drink the coolant from the expansion tank, they love that sweet smell, (plus it isnt poisonous to them!)

the solution is to buy a padlock and lock your bonnet with that...

lol

on a serious note though, are you sure its not being evapotated during combustion through the head gasket?, you could have a water leak from a pipe that only leaks when the coolant systems under pressure (ie when driving) when parked it might not drip so you wouldnt notice it, look for any white/blue crystals around pipes

I agree, the top solution is quite well known here in the south.

Is the header tank cap air tight?
