Welcome Katie, a lot of water leaks also come from the header tank lower seal, worth a look, but you can add a fluorescent dye to your coolant similar to checking the sir on for leaks, then use a black lighting see where the water is going. I would also look at all the water hoses and joints these cars are quite old and rubber does perish, so I would check all the simple things before moving onto the expensive items.

Thanks Topperz :)

I have more good news guys and girls! I had felix checked out re. The possibility of early head gasket failure (due to the mysterious disappearing coolant) and when we looked, we could see a slight split in the top of the coolant tank!
One new coolant tank later and the pressure has been tested to check how his head gasket is faring - it's holding its pressure well they said, and that his head gasket is a-ok! :) he's booked in for a full system flush and oil change next Friday just to keep everything tickety boo! :)
