I have a Seat Ibiza 1.8T, recently my car has been making a hissing/gurgling noise from the engine bay after shut off. I'm also losing a little coolant. I thought Head gasket straight away but there are no other signs of HG failure?!? What could cause this?

I pray it's not the HG... Could too much de-ionised water cause hissing? Since I topped it up with some a week ago.
