Also check the end plates on the radiator (drivers side) these can have hairline cracks and under pressure spray water absolutely everywhere!! The top hose is also prone to splitting and like Scott says the connectors on top of the header tanks are very weak, be careful around them.

best bet, refill it, then with engine running and car upto temp and heater blowing warm in the car, squeeze the top hose (be very very very very careful WHEN DOING THIS THOUGH AS OBVIOUSLY HOT WATER SCALDS) This will probably help you to locate the source of the leak.
