John,

Could it be the radiator itself which has a small hole? Is it possible to have another close look with the engine running? Have you checked the hose connection to the base of the expansion tank?

Your expansion tank is light coloured (not black) isn't it John? If so, I don't believe it has an overflow which vents to the atmosphere.
