I would start with some dye in the coolant, and a pressure tester. Disassemble the overhead intake and piping until you can actually see the leak. You might be surprised to find it is something simple.

Good point, however, we have seen several of these cars start out with small leaks coming from one or more of the fittings rather than an immediate catastrophic coolant dump. But it never hurts to confirm the source before moving forward.
