Hi and welcome to the OOF

I seem to have the same problem after fitting a new exhaust manifold gasket.
It seems the leak is intermitant and is coming from the back of the OS cylinder back
I seem to remember thats where the Heater Bypass Valve (HBV) is located.

It's NOT easy to get to

Join a recovery co and then when it losses it's fluid get them to recover it.

once it's at home you can spend time on it.
