Normally , you'll also get coolant in the oil (milky residue). The other place that motor leaks is at the "quick connect" fitting on the drivers side of the intake ust behind a nd below the thermostat housing. They crack and will start to seep coolant.
This morning I checked the coolant level on the reserve tank and was at the level it is suppose to be in. I also checked the ground and the other areas you mentioned and no leaks. I still have to check the oil but am not sure if this should be done before using the car or after.
