I took it to a mechanic for a coolant pressure test and nothing was visible leaking but once I drove it around thinking not much of it
Checked the level in the resivour tank and bone try
So guessing it's leaking near the engine and burning and evaporating

It should leave stains if it's drying on the engine. Greeny reddish stains lol :)

how did you go? fixed.?
Heres a video on thermostat replacement on the l98
.
You could ad a smidge of sealant on thermostat rubber seal that mates to the engine and thermostat housing to improve the seal.
its quite a thin rubber seal.
