fill it up take it for a quick run to warm it up then jump out leave it running if you can see water / coolant i would check your pipes :D

[Lunner]

I'm guessing the n/s coolant hose was taken off to aid gearboz fitting, esp if it was done at a garage and taken out the top then it defo will ahve been,.

Sounds liek the system wasnt' bled properly, ence the coolant drop and the heating up quickjley cus of lack of coolant, lucky you spotted it before the car overheated etc

check coolant cood be a bust rad or pipe

[Lunner]

only if you have patches of water on the floor under the car which i presume he'd ahve checked, if they'va had the coolant pipes off worth checking they are been fully tightened as well

[MatBrown]

As lunner said, sounds like an airlock due to incorrect bleeding.
