Maybe not the same thing Max, but I had a similar amount of coolant leak when the engine was hot, after putting about 1500 miles on a Subie conversion. I tightened (some were a little loose upon inspection) all the clamps and the drip went away. I think the new hoses and fittings needed to be heat-cycled several times before things began to settle into shape? Anyway, you may want to go back and check everything for tightness and see what happens.
