Turned out there was a tiny hole in the bottom of the radiator that was impossible to see unless you were double jointed and had a head the size of a pea.
Also worth checking the pressure cap on the coolant bottle. Only about a tenner direct from Ford so a good place to start if there's no obvious leaks.

I've found the leak, it's at the back of the coolant pump. It's leaking slowly, I'll take a picture later. It looks like there's a seal that it's leaking through. It's at the section right at the back of the pump, three hoses meet and connect to a black part that connects to the pump, it's leaking where that section meets. Will the whole pump need replacing and how big a job is that? Or is there rubber gasket that fits inbetween or is it one sealed unit? What sort of cost will a new pump be ? Thanks for the help.
