Go at it scientifically; buy some Uview coolant dye (get the correct type for your color coolant) and add it to the system. Run the car for a day to two, then park it in a dark garage and have a look around using a UV light (Uview also makes an inexpensive UV light flashlight). When you shine the UV light on the leak source, it will light up brightly, showing you exactly where it is leaking.
