Dropping water level in toilet pan?

When I flush the toilet all seems normal but over the next few hours the water level in the pan drops significantly. The pan is not cracked or leaking so I assume the water must be going over the 'lip' and down the soil pipe, but why?

Thanks very much John, it gives me somewhere to start looking. Andy

When you use the other drains in the house, especially another loo, the vacuum caused in the soil pipe causes some water to be sucked out of the pan. This is either due to not enough ventilation to the SVP or the pipe itself having a blockage.
