"I noticed a small puddle forming beneath the exhaust on the passanger side this morning. I could see a small drop fall every 30 seconds or so" I noticed this same thing behind my '91 Westy while camping. It turned out to be the small coolant line leading from the "T" above the license plate inside the engine compartment. It leads to the right head. Each time I tried to cut the hose the leak got worse and I noticed how hard and brittle the hose was so had to cannibalize the main-tank-to-overflow-tank hose and press it into service until I could get back to "civilization" and get another hose to reconnect main to overflow. I stuck a stick in the hole coming out of the right head to prevent coolant loss and had to add about 4-5 cups when the procedure was done. No bleeding needed in that particular adventure.
