<< The radiator for my 4kq kept doing this and I never saw a leak..until one 
day 
 when it GUSHED coolant everywhere...its odd the leak isnt a slow leak but 
one 
 that gushes at random and pukes a lot of coolant everywhere. I was staning 
in 
 the garage today trying to aim my headlights and it peed everywhere, a good 
 amount too! Maybe this is your problem..i was mystifed by my leak too unitl 
I 
 noticed this phenomenon one day at work..HTH.

My GT did this too - I asked the mechanic to check it out, as the coolant 
kept disappearing.  He pressure tested it with me standing there, and as were 
talking about it, GUUUUSSSHHHHH, the radiator let go.  Check for pinhole 
leaks under a pressure test - that's what it probably is if you can't find 
anything else, and when it loads up, it's dumping coolant, but it won't do it 
under idle...

Later!
