I seem to have a coolant leak going on, but it isn't currently a massive puddle or anything. I only noticed because it was about 3x4 inch puddle on the driveway, and just happened to notice.

It had a little drop hanging from the one spot it's dripping from, which is under the front bumper, drivers side (right next to the radiator/radiator fan?)

I'm not sure where this is coming from or what this little hole type deal is, but it's only leaking from here. What could this issue be?

I can share a link to a video if it helps. Please let me know! Thanks!

Side tanks on the radiator are known to crack. Mine cracked at a mold seam a couple inches below the upper radiator hose.

It might be a tiny leak now, but can get worse in a hurry. Figure it out and fix it ASAP.
