coolant leak

I have been experiencing coolant leak in my 4.8i, I measured how much coolant I am losing and in 4 days I lost 250ml , I looked below the car and the hoses, water pump I can not see any sign of leak, any ideas on where to check for common hidden leak spots?

I thought of doing a pressure test by myself to find the leaking spot, any body knows where i can buy the pressure test adapter for the 4.8i ? can it be that I am losing coolant because of pressure from the engine going into the cooling system? this would certainly kill me haha

cheers

check the reservoir bottle itself and the neck of the bottle. When I had my 4.8 that's where it was leaking.
