Coolant Leak

I've searched some other coolant leak threads but am still not sure which problem I have. Regardless, I think it's minor but...

Every couple of days after a decent length drive i will find a small puddle of water has formed after I've parked it. It's been happening for about a month and I always check my overflow resevior, which has seemed fine until my last oil change when they said it looked a smidge low.....which obviously makes sense.

My engine temp gauge never goes up from the middle of the gauge and the car seems to always be running great. Where might a small leak like that be coming from? Any ideas?

Thank you in advance.

It could be condensation from your AC if it is just water. Though if is not water it could be coolant.

If it's water and not greenish coolant, it's probably condensation from your air conditioner and it drips and forms a puddle when you park. We're you runnning the AC? If so, it's totally normal.

is it water or coolant? if its water then its condensation from your A/C leaking out of the drip tube from the evaporator. if it is coolant and you don't see any leaking lines or anything then pressurize the system and then look for the leak.

Yeah, I assumed a/c condensation because it looked clear and didn't have an odor so I started driving without a/c and didn't notice it but became a little worried when they saw my coolant resevior low.

I'll recheck, thanks again.
