Update:

Went out this morning to have a good look over the car.



The bubbles were appearing in the top return hose when the cap was off while the system was bled. Bubbles have now stopped when the cap is.


Pulled the oil cap off and spotted some mayo on the cap and instantly thought the worst  given the fact that coolant was going missing.



Me being me went into fault find mode and took the rocker cover off.




No mayo in the cams or anywhere else. Just a little bit in the rocker cover which is fairly typical of vauxhall engines. No mayo on the dipstick either. Glad its not the head.

What I did find was a really small crack in the expansion tank though
