Default H/E plumbing leak?

cooling mods

brick mod
KATECH H/E (hopefully swapped out for magnuson soon)
Fasterproms spacer
Fasterproms expansion tank

I seem to be leaking dexcool somewhere near the passenger wheel (looks like left side of expansion tank).

Here is the problem, the dexcool doesn't show up for 2-3 days after sitting.

I've tested it twice where I drive it hard and check above and below for anything wet, all the expansion tank fittings seem fine and everything seems dry. 2-3 days later we have a piece of bread sized pool of dex.

thoughts?

Things expand when heated so it probably seals up when you are trying to test it. I would just snug everything a bit when shes cold.

Expansion and contraction came to mind, will give it a whirl
