just a guess,the reservoir could have a light crack in it.when it warms up, it expands and allows for the coolant to escape. it wouldnt be the first time ive heard of a bad reservoir

^^^^^
Could be this

Did you bleed the air from the cooling system after you did the timing job? You could have passed a bubble
