Doug,

I've just gone through a very similar experience having had the heads
redone last spring.  Mine started leaking from the left rear only after
getting hot.  Turned out to be the expansion tank had cracked along the
seam but was also leaking from the level sensor. Replaced the tank but
recently have had a tough time getting a new sensor to seal properly.
Hope yours is relatively minor like this.
