all that can be said at this point is top up the water level and keep a eye on the water level and gauge if you are losing water have it check out by a garage unless you can see where the water is going ie leaking from

i have just had another look,the car runs fine no smoke etc,no visible water leaks,no over heating,no gunk inside oil cap.there was a suggestion that my head gasket had blown,but i dont seem to be getting those symptoms,just the loss of water from expansion tank.
