After rolling my car out of storage a couple of weeks ago, I discovered some coolant on the ground where the car had been parked. It was a small amount, probably 1 to 2 tablespoons and located somewhere up front between the radiator and the front fire wall. I pulled the spare tire out and had a look from the top side and could not find any wet spots or spots with dried residue indicating a leak. Bringing the car up to temperature and letting it idle did not generate any dripping. I drove the car home without issue and I have been driving regularly since. I was hoping that a new wet spot would appear giving me a clue as to where I should look; however, the car has remained dry since coming out of storage.
Since nothing is visible from the top, I expect that I am going to have to get the car up on jack stands and have a look underneath to see if I can spot the source of the leak. Does anybody have any suggestions for obvious candidates for an intermittent leak source? If nothing reveals itself via inspection I may have to get an adapter cap for the coolant tank and apply some air pressure to see if I can induce a leak.
