My Daughters 9-5 V6 had a coolant leak that would only show up after running long and hot.
When the car was shut off, no leak could be found, even with pressure testing.
I finaly saw it leak while standing in front of the car with the hood open, 95 degree air temp, engine nice and hot, pressure tester attached, and reving at about 2500rpm in park.
It shot out of the front of the engine for a split second above the turbo from the head gasket, it dried almost instantly, so there was no drip or other signs except for the smell of burning coolant and the loss in the bottle.
New head gasket solved the issue.
