Default Coolant leak

Dont know if anyone can help source or have had any problem similar pulled up this morning had steam comeing from bonnet vents noticed the smell of coolant had a look under car to see coolant dripping from couple of places checked header tank to see no coolant left at all! Ive then filled the tank back up left car idling for 10 mins nothing dripping so desided to rev car for 5 secs at 3.5 revs then to see it it running out like a tap i cant see where its comeing from at all but know for sure its under inlet as its running down cam cover any ideas anyone? Any input greatfull

Yes, quite likely, or the top hose split. Mine did that. You could stand and watch it and nowt would happen, rev it up and a tiny stream of coolant squirted out under pressure

Crossover pipe is easy enough to get at with rad out.
