Angry Losing water!!!

I have a Fiesta Encore 1.3 on a R reg. Ive had it a couple months and its using a lot of water. Had an oil change and the oil was in normal condition and had the head gasket tester kit used and it was all ok! Theres hot air blowing out of the heater so it can be the matrix... Left car sat in same place for a week and no visable leak or water lost at all. Whn i run the car its using water like theres no 2moro!

Any ideas and help would be well appreciated!

Thanks

Graeme

perhaps its only leaking when its under pressure start the car up at a standstill wait for it to get up to temp and then have a good poke around the engine bay and see if you can spot any leaks

mark.

might be leaking when it gets hot. under pressure. but also water evaporates, i may have leaked when u parked it up, but a week later there would be no sign.

Have you checked the water pump isn't leaking, as said it may only leak under pressure so when stood still will not show a leak.
