I know that at a glance, the coolant hasn't appeared abnormally low so I'm hoping Rudy's assumption that this is a pin-hole leak is correct. Perhaps isolating the I/C fluid from the engine coolant will lower the pressure enough to at least slow the leak.

Still sucks.
Boiling of the water and leaving what you have spread around plus what was burnt would indicate a fair amount of loss.

I expected something like that but all I found was a thin film of oil on the gasket edges and none visible in the plenums. It was a big relief to me as you can imagine.
