Losing water after long journeys but only when engine off?

On my 2007 transit connect with 105k on it, not always but sometimes after a long journey I check the coolant level when I get home and it is fine but by the next morning it is half empty. It never loses any water when in use and if definitely doesn't leak onto the floor. If drives lovely. Any ideas?

yea, after a drive and fully hot, remove the spark plugs, and let it sit for 1.5 hour,

Come back with a helper to work the ignition key to crank it over while

you watch for coolent pumping out of the plug holes. PROTECT YOUR

EYES!. If coolent is pumping out of the holes - proceed to removal

of cylinder head. Your facing a leaking head gasket, or cracked

head.

report back

look at your oil dip stick and inside the oil filler cap.

If mochachino creamy stuff is forming? same as above.
