Mark n2, I have the same set up as you have. My system started leaking within the first 500 miles. The culprit was the hose clamp on the outbound hose coming out of the expansion tank heading towards the radiator. It would not tighten enough to seal the connection. It felt tight and would not tighten any more but still leaked. I replaced it with a new hose clamp, tightened it up and had no other problems. The spots on the floor did not correspond at all with the leak, as the coolant would drip down and follow a weird path before dripping on the floor. My son also has the same set up on his car and had a problem too, but it was the next clamp towards the radiator on his that was not tight enough and would not tighten. He replaced his and has had no other problems.

Good luck
