The typical places for leaks is the tiny hose from the reservoir to the thermostat housing, or the tstat to engine sealing. I had a significant leak in the latter after replacing Tstat, coolant ending up in the engine V between the banks (possible to see with without removing the plenum). After 2 liter I like to believe it should show on the floor though, finding its way throught the V and down rear of the engine.
Oil and coolant temperature OK? (there is a "secret" meny for coolant temp if you don't have a scanner).

still no visible leaks after parking 3 days
oil temp seems fine it stays under 100C
only gets slightly above 100C after hard driving
I'll check coolant temp via secret menu
thanks for all these info, tips!
