I would run the car a while to recreate the water on the flap, then trace backwards from under the car (run up on Rhino Ramps) to the water pump and see of it is leaking (its on the left side of the engine), then the hose connections on the back of the pump (3), the black plastic "T" connection into the heater hoses (not sure of your 85 model year).
I would also replace the cap on the tank just in case it is failing ($15). I would also replace the thermostat ($10) as its cheap and easy to do, overheating can start there and cause the cap to release coolant. You didn't say anything about high temp guage readings or overheating, so maybe its something simple. Keep us informed and we will help where we can.
