Yes.....I have just been through exactly the same. It will get worse and worse and eventually you will be using litres of coolant. Then the engine will basically pack-up due to a failed cylinder head gasket. Its a common fault and needs fixing.
: I had a similar problem on my Discovery , only
: the leaking was on the radiator.I used a
: "Leak Stop" to prevent leaking and
: it worked fine.Since then it was 15 tkm. and
: stil holding.
: Sory for my english

: Please could you help me. My Freelander 1.8
: ES
: petrol ( 2001 - owned since new - 58,000
: miles) has just started to lose water from
: the cooling system from no apparent source
: or route. The bottle needs topping up with
: approx 1/2 litre of water every week or so.
: The running temp remains normal, there is no
: loss of power, There is no excessive
: pressure in cooling system (indicating a
: failed head gasket),or evidence of water or
: foam in oil sump (or on dipstick) or any
: steam or leaks coming from radiator or
: pipes. This has only started happening in
: the last month and I am flummoxed as to the
: cause. I am reluctant to take it to a
: Landrover garage as, from experience, they
: will charge me the cost of the a small
: countries national debt to just look at it.
