Well, you are either syphoning, or you have breached the exhaust manifold barrier between coolant and combustion exhaust.
I trust you have a siphon break? If so, make sure it's working. Check the wee non-return valve on it.
If that does not work, then take the exhaust manifold off there and you should see the leak path across the gasket(s). The gasket will not leak inward when running, but it will when shut down. If the drip was fairly fast out of the air filters, I would not suspect the exhaust gasket.
