Jeep Cherokee water loss

Car: Jeep Cherokee
Variant: 2.5td CRD sport
Model Year: 2002
Categories: Leaks & Noises
I drive approximately 500 miles per week and seem to be losing a full header tank of water during this time. I do mainly motorway driving.
It has been in and out of main dealer garages and they cannot find any leaks, problems with the head gasket, water pump, radiator and air con checked(but rarely used). They say big engine lots to cool. Just doesnt seem right to be losing this amount. Anyone else had similar problems ???

Are you adding antifreeze everytime or are you just putting in water?

The garage are right it is a big engine to cool and if you have only been adding water and sitting in traffic for a lot of the day then it makes sense that the water will evaporate and need topping up more often. Keep an eye out for leaks and let me know your progress
