It isn't the cap on the radiator leaking past its seal (not the one that holds the pressure but the one that allows the engine to suck back coolant from the overflow tank)?. My VS leaks there and sprays the odd drop on the aircleaner box. High speed driving could blow the coolant over the tappet cover. Problems like this can drive you mad!

i had similar problem, amongst other water leaks..
Coolant pooling at front right inlet manifold under the heater tap / thermo housing. was told i had a warped manifold, yeah right ! I replaced the inlet manifold gaskets, applying some silicone around the suspect water passage, problem solved. i'm having a bad run trying to get the old V8 to hold down her water, just replaced the water pump the other day, what a pain in the but hole. ;)
