I thought about that. No white smoke, no overheating, changed the oil three months ago, nothing wierd about it then. I'll be changing it next week though.

place an empty container on the coolant reservoir drain hose and drive it like usual....after a long drive check to see if there is coolant in the container...If so..then you most likely have a BHG leaking into a water jacket...{like usual}
this causes high presure in the coolant system pushing the coolant out trhough the reservoir and spilling "only" when the vehicle is driven or at high RPM..

Could it be as simple as your radiator drain plug is not tightend all the way closed???

4 to 6k rpm.
