that's kinda weird... I have a 1980 tr7 and ran into the same problem.
When the engine was running, I had no problem... However once I turned
the baby off, I was leaking water. It came from a notch beside the water
pump in the engine... I have cured the problem (for how long, I don't
know) with gunk stop leak stuff! Worked wonders... So far I haven't had
anymore problems... at least from that... I'm currently trying to
fix/replace my overflow tank which decided to rupture a seam...
Good luck...
