Mr. Science;
Not sure if you have one of these under the hood, but I recently had a similar coolant leak in my 92 900 (Turbo Convert) - only leaked after the engine was very hot (as in after a freeway drive), and it was impossible to find the source once the engine cooled. I had the system pressurized, and the leak was detected at a plastic tee-like connection in the coolant hose that connects to the heater core. The tee is located adjacent to the coolant tank (between the tank and the engine). I'm not really sure why but this tee has some type of check valve or over-pressure valve (or something)in it that was the source of the leak. The replacement part was about $40. I still have the old part - I intend to take it apart to see what's inside it.
Good luck,
Charles
