I'm out of ideas, I have checked everything, that I can think of.
2000 LC with 186k miles. I put new heater Tee's on a few weeks ago just for the PM and no idea when previous owner did it last, if ever. I lost a little coolant when changing them so I added back to the radiator when I was done.
The next morning I came outside to find a spot on my driveway about the size of the bottom of a water bottle. Still halfway asleep I figured it was just where some got caught in the skid plates and leaked out overnight. Over the next week or so I noticed the exact same spot and clearly it was coming from the front, not back at the firewall. So i assumed it was probably the radiator leaking. I pulled my skid plates off and looked and it was damp on the bottom driver side corner, building up and dripping on the two bolts on the bottom. I left my skid plates off over the last two weeks to try to figure out where the leak is coming from. Seemed like i had it figured out and the radiator was just leaking slowly and running down the that point and dripping. Well after a week, it stopped. I thought maybe it was low and i checked, radiator was still topped off so I started the truck and let it run and added to the system once the engine pulled it down some. topped back off and it doesnt leak any for next week so i was confused. Came outside yesterday morning and it had a tiny spot again. Dry this morning, and dry all day at work today.
Temperature has never fluctuated on me and it has never leaked down enough to make adding neccessary, when I added, it took maybe a 1/3 of a cup.
any ideas would be appreciated. starting to get irritated with these little spots on my driveway.
