Losing Coolant w/all new components - Bumpy Roads

Hey all,

So I've been enjoying driving now that my engine bay project is done. However, I noticed that sometimes, my coolant reservoir is dropping. I could see some coolant sprayed in the IACV/Throttle body/thermostat area (ie rats nest of tiny hoses) but can't find the source. Furthermore, I narrowed it down to only happening when I drive on bumpy roads (offroad, cobblestone). I drove 2 hours in 95 degree heat on smooth highways, no loss. 15 minutes total on city potholes and cobblestone, lost about a half inch in the overflow.

I replaced everything with OEM parts. All hoses, clamps, overflow tank, cap, lower metal hose, radiator. It wasn't leaking before so I'm stumped. Going to do a dye test but was curious if anyone else has ever seen this?
