For the last few weeks I had to top up coolant by about 1 litre after a day's driving. I searched high and low looking for a leak without luck and was worried it was a cylinder head problem. Just by luck whilst prodding around with the water hoses I noticed a dribble of coolant.
There is a coolant sensor on top of the thermostat housing held in place by a plastic circlip, after removing it I found the little rubber seal was causing the leak, £3.90 inc VAT from the dealer and problem solved.
Just thought I would share this incase it happens to anyone else.
