Hello, it would be a good idea to check the cooling system has been bled of air properly. If not, the coolant level drops as the air makes it's way round to the filler.
If you run the engine from cold with the coolant filler cap off you might see some tell tale bubbles. This air will need bleeding from the bleed points.
Cheers.

Take Rmar's advice above , but if still losing water you will need to get a pressure test on cooling system to find any external leaks . If still not right , get a block test carried out .
