16V Coolant Leak... Strange

Hello all, how is everyone doing? I trust we all had great summers. Been really busy with the 16Valve, been making some great progress too. But the darn thing has a coolant leak, I just can't figure it out. When the car sits for a day or more, there's a leak toward the back of the engine, and in the front left side. Drive the car, she's fine, no leaks. Tried doing a search, but to no avail. Anyways, thanks much for the advice. Happy Labor Day!

When the car is cold, say 12 hours after shutdown, how much pressure is there in the cooling system? There should be no pressure, or low pressure. I'm wondering if you have high pressure that's making things leak when cold, similar to the problem with cracked heads on the 603 diesel...
