    that doesn't sound like a real leak.
    can you describe it, po? location?
    na-uubusan ba kayo ng coolant?

    bro makikita mo yan parang powdery yung coolant sa source ng leak.

    bro sobrang di halata yan leaks na yan while running or after long cool down. kumbaga sakto moment mo sya makikita, i guess within 30 minutes to an hour after engine is Off.
    from a 30 minute drive ko nakita yun spots.

    Not me but a friend did. It blocked radiator passages when it was opened

    Also do not replace an aluminium/plastic cover with a brass one ("tanso") = galvanic corrosion. i mean it can give you months or years of trouble-free operation but is not the best way to go.

    my wild guess, is your radiator cover needs replacement.

    Make sure to replace it with proper spec cover ... There are different types depending on pressure ...

    it probably gravitated towards the lower parts, from above.
    you'll just have to see where it is coming from.
    use a strong light source.
