Thanks people.

I hadn't ruled out a leak but as pre a pmail and Jim's comment here,
the leak may not be obvious.

Though I may have been lax on checking this during recent weeks, while
driving around town, the coolant level had remained ok. But this
recent highway speed trip appeared to use up a lot of coolant.

Neil.
