Best to have the coolant checked for exhaust gas. That should give you a good idea if the HG is leaking

Is the expansion bottle also empty? ......when doing water pump ect how much water/coolant did you put back in?
are you seeing any coolant on the ground?
have you replaced radiator cap with correct rated one or at all

There is water in my overflow yes, it still had water in it, and nope not 1 leak that i can see iv tighten the hoses/changed clamps but haven't had a chance to bleed it again but its holding water right now and has been off for a day but when i drive it and come back it usually goes down

prob have a bucket of air still in the system...takes between 5 to 6lt of coolant maybe a tad less or more after a rad flush/ pump replacemnt....10+ lt if block is drained
if system is working fine it should empty res before the rad starts to drop level....do a search for bleeding coolant system there are a few slightly different techniques...if you 100% certain the system is bleed right and not seeing any coolant on ground then the only place it can go is in the cabin or out the exhaust.....
