Coolant leak and slow speed fan not working

Well. folks it's still leaking! I did a gas test which proved negative i.e. the liquid stayed blue.

I have put it on a two post lift again and checked thoroughly but no sign of any leak. I left the engine running for about twenty minutes as well, still no visible leak.

I note Trickey on here knows a member with the same situation but who had a respected garage change the head gaskets but the car continued to leak.

There is some mayonnaise visible when you remove the oil cap but I put this down to the fact that the car is not being used very much. There is no coolant on the dipstick.

I don't know what to do next apart from removing the heads and changing the head gaskets. The car is no good with the leak so I think this is the last ditch attempt at solving the problem. Any other suggestions please?
