Very slow leak in overflow tank

My overflow tank seems to be going empty slowly. The last time I filled it was in March and I filled it to the Full line. Now, the overflow is almost empty.

I did 425 KM last night almost non-stop and the level stayed the same since that night and today. So, I am not burning any thru the gaskets. Exhaust is not white niether.

I did see one suspect thought. I have this really small rad at the bottom of the bumper and it seems a little wet around the tubes that enter it. Could it be that? I have no spots on the driveway or road when I park.

Specs of my truk:

190 000 KM.
Oil changed on Saturday.
Runs well, no loss of power.
Temps are good.

If the leak is that small i wouldnt even worry about it, its probly a extremely small weeping leak in the radiator or you horse, so i wouldnt worry about it at all
