There does not appear to be any coolant on the dipstick and the oil level seems okay in spite of the amount of coolant loss. I would have expected the level on the dipstick to have risen.

I am now at a loss as to where the coolant is going. It is looking increasingly like HGF but I don't know how to prove it. Do you think I should drain the coolant and refill it very carefully? It is very strange because the car is running perfectly.

Hi. I had the same problem last week and the mechanic diagnosed HGF it's easy to proove using a special instrument with inside a blue liquid that need to be putted instead of the water tap.. If the liquid become green that's HGF. Good luck!
