The water noise soon after start up is normal, apparently. I hope so, because mine does it.

It shouldn't use water though, although the header tank should only be on the minimum when cold.

Sorry, you've lost me.

AFAIK there is the radiator and an overflow coolant tank next to it which is on minimum when cold (looks almost empty), but goes up when hot. If you try to fill it up when cold, it will overflow when hot and regain the correct level (I think).
