Engine Coolant Draining

Not fully sure where to post this, apologies if its in the wrong section.

 

Car:

Ford Focus Titanium X, 1.6 Diesel

I thought I'd give this Forum a shot before I take it to a garage. Few months ago the engine went into limp mode because it didn't have enough coolant. Since then it seems to be draining at a rapid pace, its now got to the point where I'm having to fill it each morning. I can't see any obvious signs of leaking anywhere.

Things to note:

Engine is getting coolant to it

Radiator seems to take ages sometimes to heat up

When the coolant cap is fastened it makes a high pitch noise

I have had it where the temp gauge randomly drops and then goes back up

I've attached a photo of where I spotted some water before, any help at all would be massively appreciated.
