you need some dye in the system to determine where the exact leak is at. add it in the system and watch for the color.

thanks for that, i got a mechanic coming to look at it thursday, any idea roughly where the leak could be coming from? it doesnt lose coolant and i have to top oil up around every 300 miles (only around 1/4 litre if that) but oil never leaves drips on floor just on end of oil filter casing, but the oil is higher than that.
