Small coolant leak cause?

[leftysmoke]

I noticed my car had a small coolant leak while I was doing my rear brakes today. The leak was a small puddle, but I noticed in my storage unit that there was also a small puddle that had dried.

Any ideas on the possible cause? I'm putting it up on a lift that I'm using next week to do my oil and re-align my Stingers. My coolant was pretty darn low as well. I'm assuming it leaked here and there during the winter. I plan to add just enough through the reservoir when I do my oil.

Thanks for any help in advance. :beer:

Sounds good. I'm just hoping for some preliminary causes lol. I'll let you know how the lift goes. AJ is stopping by at 12pm on Weds.

I had a leak from the radiator overflow tank. I notice that the leak most most prevalent when the engine was cooling down.

I would fill up the overflow tank, warm up the engine, park it, wait for 10-20 minutes for the pressure to build and I could clearly hear/see that the coolant was seeping through a small hole on the bottom of the tank. It stained my fan shroud and everything.

Hmmmm. I think my leak is a little farther back, like closer to the tranny. I'll check it out though. Thanks, dude.
