Where beneath the vehicle are you seeing this evidence?

If you over fill the expansion tank, it will blow some hot when it gets hot.

If it's leaking from the heater pipes it can travel around the engine bay very sneakily ...

Is the water coolant? ie does it have antifreeze in it? Or is it plain water? If the latter it may just be rainwater that has collected there.

Leave under tray off and spot where it is coming from...most common is Rad corners, water pump and a split expansion tank - these are the front end leaks....

From the rear is Heater valve, coolant manifold on the back of the engine and the valley gasket....

Mine was leaking from the quick coupling to the transmission cooler / stat at the front left looking at the front. I uncoupled it and replaced the O ring, you could always chuck in some UV dye I don't think it would effect the coolant
