anti freeze leak

Ok i had the water pump changed twice last year ( 1st change faulty pump). Since then I have been noticing i will leak antifreeze from time to time. I only leak x amount . I can fill it to the cold max and within a day i am at the same low spot. No more no less. Anyt clues?

I had a problem like that with my Ex. Certain angles would make it leak worse than others. Colder temperatures made it worse also. In my case, it was where the plastic part at the bottom of the rad joins the aluminium part. The seal was slowly starting to fail. Have a look in the engine, down the back face of the rad. There is a 'sill' where the plastic part mounts to the aluminium part and if it is wet that could be your culprit. Super crappy design...
