Default Common Coolant Leaks?

I was wondering if the 951 series has any really common coolant leaks. I've got a small leak right now that seams to be comming from the front passenger area. Unfortunately I think the last owner used some sort of bars leak because the leak is intermitent and I have been unable to track it down thus far. Even with removing the belly pan I can't seem to find the leaks source.

If anyone knows of any common leaks and can give me a lead on where to start looking I'd greatly appreciate it.

in the rear, that's where the hoses go into the heater.

hoses to from radiator/expansion tank, around the temp switch.

Cool

i replaced an auto radiator from partsheaven a while back in the old 84944 for $100 + shipping and never had any problems with it.

i changed it out on ramps and added 6 bladed fans/shroud.
