I chased a leak down on my 1997 like this. I finally found it by shutting it down when warm and opening the hood and checking the head seal on the radiator on the drivers side. I found the seam leaking and it was running down to the drain area. I checked with a radiator shop as to resealing it, but they said that they didn't have good luck with that repair. I replaced the radiator in order to repair it.
