Elusive coolant leak in Yanmar 2QM20

I would like to find the source of a small leak which has me baffled. After a five-hour run on the motor, there's about a pint of coolant in the bilge beneath the beast. All hoses are new, and clamps have been tightened and retightened.
Still a drip coming from somewhere. Any ideas?

+1. Paper towel laid on the bilge floor under the engine will also show up the general location.

Check seals for any potential leakage. This guy goes through his engine cooling system to give you some ideas. I think this one is a volvo but I think it will be helpful to you.
