Any signs of a coolant leak under the car?

Mine was losing coolant up until last week and I dreaded the worst but i found it to be the header tank cap rubber seal was worn. Easy fix fortunately

Is the cooling system pressurising, is the fan cutting in..how much water are you losing, any signs of a leak. More info on the fault would help..
