Why is my Tacoma leaking coolant?

Why does coolant leak so slow in a Toyota Tacoma?
The reason it leaks so slow is as the engine gets hot, the metal expands (thermal expansion) and makes a seal, so no leak while the engine is running at normal operating temp. As the metal cools it shrinks but the coolant is still hot and under pressure. Once the coolant cools, the leak stops again, so you have to look in that specific window.
