No signs of water in the oil so not thinking HGF.
Any ideas? Are there any gaskets/pipe connections in that area that I'm just not seeing?
Any help greatly appreciated
Many thanks

T Cut has covered all the main suspects - but if you are still unable to confirm the point of loss whenever i am losing coolant if its not obvious like a leak from the T-piece at LHS behind radiator i ask my local garage to put her on a ramp and run the engine - first time i did this it was a leaking IMG which took 60 minutes to manifest - 2nd time was a loosening of the small hose to the turbo and that was spotted after a few minutes. As you are seeing quite a dramatic loss it should be spotted pretty quickly.
