You may have a cracked head.

This is not unusual - it's from short trips, and inoperative PCV system. It does not indicate coolant loss. That is condensation.

Today when driving i hear this woshing running water sound from the heater core.

Open the hood and noticed the coolant level on the expansion was about 1-2 cm higher than usual.

 

Open up the radiatorcap and expected an explotion of coolant but nothing.

Those are part of an indication of failing head gaskets.

 

You need to be checking coolant level in the radiator and the overflow before every drive to be more certain. Don't open the radiator cap unless it is low on coolant. The system needs to be 100% full of coolant, little to no air.

I second that. On a boxer engine,  you don't have access to the head bolts to retorque them. With NeverTorques, you don't have to, because they don't relax over time. When they relax, there's less clamping action and they get blow-by and fail.
