    had a similar prob.

    mine turned out to be the pipe that runs from the front of the engine right through the middle under the lower intake, it had a small hole in the pipe at the elbow at the rear of the engine, i put it down to previous owner(s) neglect. but i can tell you there is quite a few places that it can leak from back there, i asume that the NA has water heated throttle body's, so if you have the upper intake off bypass or get rid of that, unless you live somewhere it gets realy Farkin cold ;) (oneless thing to give probs down the track)i supose you could pull all as much as you can out the way(wires etc) and presurise the radiator some how. somewhere in the order of 4 or 5 psi would be enough to get the water moving out the hole or leak. (but im no guru when it comes to cooling systems.)highly recomend looking at the cooling section of the service manual online to get you barings on what it could be. twinturbo.net i think from memory.
