its the fan for cooling the radiator , if it spins freely when the engine is at rest , the fluid inside has lost its viscosity. because it cant efficiently cool the radiator , the radiator will push more water out than it can recover , hence a mysterious water loss . just an idea as it has been one ...

yes and i could not find anything.

if the radiator cap is faulty how the water goes out? as I couldnt find any trace of water around it. Unless it goes as a steam thats why it is losing water after the engine stop and slowly losing water.
