    You'd need to have a pressure test and combustion leak(sniff) test done to find the fault if it isn't obvious.

    Driving with a coolant leak will still cause engine damage over time even if you are topping up the level.

    took out thermostat and tested it with boiling water, only opening intermittently

    replaced (with genuine part) and flushed out old coolant which contained a degree of sludge
