You mean there's a trail of water on the road?
If that's coolant, then it would explain the 4 litre/1000km consumption. In good condition, the cooling system doesn't lose any coolant.
Don't fill the header tank above the MAX marker. Look down the filler neck to see MIN/MAX at the bottom. When full and cold, the level should be like this:

Have you checked for coolant pooling in the V between the heads?
This is the most common area of leakage and stems from the thermostat housing also located between the heads. Remove the engine cover to check.
Does the radiator fan operate as it should?
Do the Demist Test to check.
