I have a moderate (1 to 2 drops per 5 seconds) coolant leak on drivers side. I can not find the leak but it is dripping from the rack and pinion area. It is not coming from the firewall or inside the vehicle. It is not coming from the engine and I can not see if it is coming from any of the return lines from the rear or the lines to and from the heater core. Anyone haveany ideas? If i can't locate it, I am going to dumb a bunch of bars leak in and hope that takes care of it.

the heater core is on the drivers side... next to the brake booster...possible a hose

Turns out it was a heater hose that went to the bottom tube of the heater core. I also noticed that my upper radiator hose was bulging and about to rupture. I would suggest changing ALL coolant lines and hoses at 100K miles wether they need it or not.
