More ROver issues

[R1stu]

OK my 1992 Rover 214 16v seems to be losing water. I filled it up a while ago (xmas time) and checked it yesterday and there is none in the expansion tank!

Now the engine is not overheating at all it takes about 10mins for it to get warm and it never goes above half way the temp gauge.

There is no water/oil mixed and it doesnt smoke at all.

Cant seem to see anywhere where its going, there is no ob sign of leakage.

Also on of my belts is sqeeking like hell and the battery is not charging, do I have to replace the belt or will adjusting it fix it?

Cheers

Waterpump or headgasket would be my bet.
