If you cant see where the water is coming from , you will have to carry out a pressure test on cooling system to locate leak .

i had the same problem with my vectra it turned out to be the main water pipe that runs around the back of the enging it had a split in it and because it is not a rubber hose but plastic pipe because when the engine is running it forces the water past the split but when the engine has stopped the preasure forces the water out .
that was my problem i had to replace the pipe which was expencive because you can only get it from vauxhalls i hope this info helps ron.
