Great scenery! I need to top up my coolant too and have an intermittent leak somewhere at the engine end....some days there is a very small puddle after use and some days there isn't. I'm still looking.

Mine takes about a liter every 3 or 4 months, it's leaking to atmosphere at the cylinder head on the exhaust manifold side.

I have left the coolant pressure tester on overnight and the gauge hardly drops so it must only leak when the engine is hot. You never get any visible wet leaks as the coolant must evaporates due to the external heat of the engine but when you look up at the engine block from underneath behind the exhaust manifold you can see the staining and residue from the anti-freeze where it has evaporated.

It has been like this since I owned the car and never got any worse, if it becomes an issue I will have to change the head gasket, it also looks like the standard single layer gasket as you can see the edge of it at the corner of the engine block.
