Been noticing very slow drop in coolant level over a period of time with my Ibiza FR Petrol (2005). If it's topped to mid-way between min and max when cold it will eventually drop below the min mark over a period of about 2 months or so (on average that would mean about 2500 miles based on the mileage I do)
There are no obvious reasons for this; the head gasket is pukka (i.e no marks, oil loss, chuffing noises, power or mpg drop).
Before I go 'hunt the cooling system leak' in and/or under my engine bay has anyone else seen similar things and - does anyone know of a common place where the cooling system is likely to show a weak point? (e.g a known point in the system where people have reported leaks)?
Only likely places that spring to ming would be a joint somewhere or the water pump.
Cheers
