my old classic done that. it was a loose hose clip at front of inlet manifold. never saw any water as the heat burnt it off. found it by chance one day when i saw a pool of water lying on front of valley gasket, after being on holiday.so chech hoses, and the tightness of the inlet manifold bolts.do not use k-seal unless you have to.

Seems like a good response to the original question to me, simple & informative, devoid of the 'handbags at 5 paces' approach, to say nothing of the language in one post:(
 
I carry stop leak type products in my truck but I am very picky about what type I'll use and when. I always stick to solid type varients as you can restrict them to the radiator only. I only use them in a radiator that I know is going to have to be replaced and I always warn the driver that it is a 'TEMPORARY' solution only. If you are adding rad-seal, k-seal or any similar product as a means of a permanent solution then I would strongly advise against it. If a breakdown club is called out to a vehicle that is overheating and it is found that one of these products has been put in your system more than a few days ago it can automatically void your breakdown cover.
 
considerin all the dummy spittin and teddy throwin thats gone on lately pikey is entitled to wear what he wants !
