the other day noticed i'd lost all my water in my water tank, filled it up twice in 24hours. kinda like white smoke coming out the back of it 
but checked oil and water levels both seem ok and no water mixed with oil and no dirty horrible water either 
anyone any ideas? at 1st i thought the head gasket had gone, but now i aint sure.

Head Gasket! Had this on my 1.4 16v and seems quite common. On mine the water mixed with the oil but only after i drove it for a while (till white viper pissed out of exhaust) Cost me bout 350 with a new cambelt to get fixed

take it to a garage they can normally test the coolant for hydrocarbons using some tester thing this will tell ya if the gaskets gone or not
