That's how mine started... When I went to trace it it dissapeared, no trace of it, so I kept running it and adding water every few weeks. Then it came back and seemed to be the water pump.
Upon closer inpection it looked to be the rubber seal on the "Y" Pipe so I replaced it but leak continued. Scratching my head i did a pressure test and could not figure where the water was leaking from!
That's when I stumbled on the gasket defect on the timing cover, so don't wait till it gets worse. If I would have figured it out sooner i would've tried a stop leak product and called it a day! I don't plan on holding on to mine any longer, just needed it to hold on a little bit more!
