my roommate found a small puddle of coolant under my car today, but i cant tell where its coming from. it appears to be dripping off the oil pan, but it doesnt make sense there. i dont see any visable leakage from the head gasket. any ideas?

 

Thats a tough one with so little info. Clean your engine bay then drive around and check to see if it squirted coolant anywhere. How much does it leak?

 

There are some coolant hoses behind and under the intake mani, probably one of those.

 

Try adding that coolant additive/ leak additive where it makes the leaking spots show with florescent light

 

It might be the water pump. What side is it leaking from? Pulley? How many miles?

 

Have you check the lower radiator hose and the Low or bottom part of the radiator??

 

i already checked the radiator. its fine. it appears as if its coming from the block somewhere. i'll check the water pump..

 

Its most likely your waterpump imo.

 

Hmmmm, if you're looking at the actualy engine and can't tell where it's leaking from, how do you expect people that can do nothing more than see WORDS to know where it's leaking? Just an observation I made here.
There are sooooo many places you could get coolant leaks from. Take it to a shop if you can't find it.
