Default Random Coolant Leak...

So I notice that my overflow container is empty about once per week. This isn't good. I can't figure out where it is leaking from, though...

One day I got really low on coolant and got the engine really warm. There was some steam coming from the back-center of the block under where the feeds for the heater core are. Is there an auxillary water pump there or some hose that could be toast?

It's a weird leak that seemingly only happens while the car is off and parked.<ul><li><a href="http://www.audipages.com/Tech_Articles/enginemechanical/oilcoolerremovalreinstall.html">Would bet it's probably this.? Possibly. Maybe.</a></li></ul>
