Why is my Rover 25's water tank emptying almost daily?

I have had my Rover 25's head gasket changed not long ago, my water pump three months ago and once again my water tank is emptying very quickly and needs changing more or less everyday. Do you have any ideas?

Failed O-ring gaskets between the cylinder head and the water-heated inlet manifold.
