coolant leak

Coolant appears to be leaking really slowly around the top part of the radiator. It is such a small amount that I can not see it coming out but it is leaking out and dripping on the ground. I am just not sure if anyone knows what it might be. I don't believe it is overheating but not really sure because my girlfriend does not remember if the needle was high when she got home.

Thank you for any help.

cap is no good or you have a crack somewhere.

Check your overflow tank. Check your radiator cap. Check your radiator for holes. Check your coolant hoses.

You should be able to find your problem then... However, if it's leaking on the ground on the driver's side of the car (near the wheel on the ground). That means you have either a waterpump problem, or waterpump seal problem.

It could be a number of things, just check everything I listed above, and you should find it.

Thanks for the help. It was a crack on the top part of the radiator. Just got it replaced and had the whole system flushed. Everything seems to be going well. Thanks again for the help.
