At least you can get the strips down under, can't here!
Hope it isn't that, i obviously misread your previous report as no leaks found on the pressure test.
Could be a minor leak round the water pump especially as the car sat for a while before you bought it. Something in the back of my mind says there is a link pipe from the back of the engine that goes into the rear of the water pump and has an "O" ring on it - might be wrong and thinking of another engine though.
If i am right and that "O" ring is weeping because it got dry in the heat it might be worth adding something to the cooling system - not a sealant but something to help reviev the rubber seals in the system.
Can't for the life of me think what it is though, glycerine, gelatine or some else -ine!
If i remember, i'll let you know!
