Default slloow coolant leak.. ?

I have a d16z6 with i/h/e and about 135,000 miles on it.. It seems like there is a slow coolant leak but I never notice ANY problems. But I am a tiny bit of a noob still so anyone like to throw some tips/ info my way??

Does the oil look like frothy chocolate milk? Is the coolant oily?

popular places where that happens is the lines on the left of the intake manifold. water drips down and evaporates on the hot engine surface. try checking to see if there are marks there. Also the rubber on the radiator cap could be cracked and water evaporates out of there or onto the hot radiator and u cant see it leak. it evaporates.
