constand drip of coolant?

i seem to have a constant drip of what seems to be coolant under my engine bay, on a 1988 t25 1.9 water cooled. the van hasent been driven since sept 2010, it only a very small amount but cant see where its coming from, all hoses etc inside engine bay seem dry and tight?

any ideas, cheers Sam :ok
