I haven't got a decent trolly jack so I can get under the car properly
Well I moved the car to give it a wash today and noticed when I jumped out and seen a wet patched so looked under nd saw coolant coming down the chassis rail on drivers side it wasn't much
I replaced my intake gasket a while back so torque up the nuts again there were a few at the rhs rear that were loose but couldn't see any leaks from there ,the car was on a angle so this is why I picked it up its usually on the flat
Water tap is good
Heater core bypassed
All hoses good
And I use a cup of water every 1 or 2 days
Yeah I need good jack
Any ideas off the top of your heads

Get a pair of ramps.
Have a feel around the radiator, and the back of the engine. It can't be too hard to find

Could be your heater tap , they get brittle with age and due to the location the leak runs down the chassis rail then onto the ground.

vs commodore
Remove the heater tap altogether if you bypassed the heater core, just bridge the heater out let to input on motor.
