Search for a thread by AlanD - he had a very tiny coolant leak and it was sorted.  Some sort of flange was replaced

Has your water pump been replaced yet?  I had a leak but no problems since cambelt and waterpump were replaced.

Fair enough, just a thought because mine had a small leak and that was at about 40k miles.  Hope you get it sorted.
