checked your coolant level and bled your coolant system? open up your radiator cap and see if its full or not?
could possibly be coolant sloshing around in the heater core

I bet you have water trapped in and around your seals.

Jack the car up, get a screw driver and open up the drains that run along your lower door sills.

Google miata mx5 drain etc. Common issue.

Also may be unrelated but at the start of that same day I heard tapping in the engine but this disappeared when warmed. The slushing sound does leave when warmed up but when cold on startup it comes back.
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the obsession,

The tapping sound is the tappets. The tapping sound is used by many of us as an indication that the engine oil (and filter) needs to be changed.
