There is a 90 degree coolant hose under the upper intake. Could be leaking.

Try getting a bright light under there and squeeze hard on the upper hose. You may be able to force some coolant out of the leak an see where it's coming from.

I think I have the same problem right now. I have replaced all hoses and still have slow leak. It doesn't leak on the ground so I'm thinking it's the o-rings. Could the coolant leak then burn off before it hits the ground? I notied a small puddle of coolant above the LIM right at the gasket-- are you having the same problem?
