Must be a leak, cant believe you cant see it, the heater hoses at the back of the hdi are prone for rubbing through, maybe its leaking here out of site, if not perhaps the water pump.You need someone with a pressure tester, it would soon show the problem

hi, had it pressure tested at my mechanic and a rad specialist neither could find a leak or loss of pressure. thats the crazy thing no loss of pressure and when the stop light and rad light come on, i open up the cap thiers pressure and then the level goes right down in the reserve well.

Be very careful where you park it at night in the cold weather!
If you are topping up with plain water you could end up with a cracked block.
