i appear to be loosing some coolant after slightly hard -> hard driving, trouble is i don't know why!
the car is in pretty good mechanical order, and its not too hot in temperature AND the car isn't running hot!!!
plus, there's no sign of head gasket failure... filled the rad up yesterday and drove it to work today, came back and there was a puddle under the overflow pipe...
hte lines and rad are both less than a year old and the car is well maintained with regular flush outs of the cooling system, so why am i still letting some go?

well all the hoses were replaced last summer, as was the rad... but the cap is old... i will get a new one!
the car seems to be better now, just a tiny spot often appearing below the overflow pipe!
one thing that i was wondering that may affect it was that i was out of coolant to mix up with water, so topped the last little bit up with just water so the coolant was more diluted so therefore would be less effective... i suppose that could be the problem!?!
