Got to get my buddies jack and get the car up a little so I can see under it. Where do you all think I should concentrate looking? There isn't a ton just maybe a cup or so?

Hose clamps first of all, with the cold weather and warm engines, the hoses may swell then shrink a little so hose clamps need to be checked, then also if you can leave the leak on the floor/ground and then jack it up and maybe follow where the leak/drip is coming from is good. Another place is the waterpump, there is a weep hole stock to relieve pressure if it starts to fail to prevent it from exploding apart. Also radiators are prone to leak at the seams and if something punctures them too, so that is a good place. And the holding reseviour may be leaking...

If all that doesn't yeild something then you can do a pressure test to it while jacked up and cold and if it is something in the cooling system that is leaking/failed then it should be noticed under pressure.

Just my two cents.

Could it be the water pump?

Man, your 2 cents goes a long way! You just about covered all the bases and then some! :thumbsup3:

I could smell antifreeze burning off something for months but could never see it, never even a drop on the floor in the garage. The dealer finally found it - The Water Pump. Only 20k miles on my 2004 at the time so warranty covered the replacement.

I had the same exact situation. Mine was a tiny crack in the radiator upper spout where the hose connects. Drove me crazy for months.
