Check previous response - how long have you had the car, and why did you put a new battery in.
There is a chance the computer has been set up registering a standard, non heavy duty battery and it is deactivated stop/start at the main computer.
I believe you may need a dealer to reprogram the system.
However I have heard that your car will take upto 8 driving hours to register the new battery itself and read its levels.
Sounds bizzarre, these cars are getting too smart

1994 Chevy S10 4.3 V6 pick up. Why is my brand new battery draining after I've installed a brand new alternator?

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to correct model category.

You need an auto electrician with a pro grade scan tool computer to diagnose the charging circuit and battery drain.

Went to start the car this morning and wouldnt turn over. Tried on a couple of occasions and was not even near to starting. All lights, radio, heater, etc working okay and not had any problems ever before...

Try jump starting, see if it starts then. Lights, radio, etc.. don't draw nearly the amps that your starter does. Batteries don't always give warning when then decide to "go south". If you can get it started by jump starting, stop by a local Autozone, Advance, etc.. auto parts store and have them do a charging system test and to load test your battery. They offer this service for FREE
Another Note: When was timing belt last replaced? If it's a 325 of that year it should be done every 60k (If it's 318 ignore the above belt issue)

Losing water and steam comes out of expansion bottle

You have a blown head gasket. It is expensive to repair. I recommend that first you try the products available at Autozone or Advanced Auto. There are several that will clog the blow-out with aluminum powder and stop the coolant from entering the combustion chamber and stop the combustion gasses from entering your coolant system. It is about $15-$20 for these products and I have had success with them several times.

1992 Dodge 250 van, 318, Automatic - Dies when coming to a stop

I cannot see how adding a fuel additive would help to be honest. I would be looking for a split or leaking vacuum line, I have even seen a leaking evap canister before that caused a similar problem. Does the engine pull clean and strong when it is warm or at cruising speeds? Does it feel like its running lean or misfiring?
