Had a similar problem once. My coolant level kept dropping and it ended up being the water pump gasket.

Lift the bonnet with the engine running and pull on the accelerator cable whilst looking at the water pump. You may see tiny drops of coolant splashing out. Or you may see coolant splashed around the engine bay where it has leaked from the water pump.

With mine I noticed tiny sprays of coolant coming out. If your going to the trouble of fitting a new gasket then you may as well fit a new pump while your at it.
