<x-flowed>I would guess that you have the famous cracked water level sensor!  It's on 
top of the expansion chamber.  The sensor cracks between the thread and the 
housing, allowing coolant to escape once the system builds pressure.  Try 
removing the electrical connection and unscrewing the sensor.  I will bet 
that the sensor will break off, leaving the threads in the expansion tank.  
The sensor costs less than $10.

Posted a question yesterday about a cooling problem. The car overheated, but
I didn't find any leaks after I refilled the expansion tank and drove it.
The coolant sprayed over the drivers side of the engine. Decent at
diagnostics, but after using my resources, I have apparently missed
something. Any suggestions?
