Small coolant leak
I have a small coolant leak coming from the front of the engine bay on the passenger side of the car. It is all the way up front near the plastic air dam. I am getting small puddles of coolant on my garage floor after the car has been parked for awhile.
I checked with a flashlight directly above the puddle and can't seem to find where the leak is coming from. I have changed out my Thermostat which is in that area but the connections and hose seem to be dry.
Anyone else have a similiar problem?

I had the same problem. The thermostat came with a new o-ring, and it leaked a little. We took it apart and used the factory o-ring and it stopped leaking.
