Thanks again. I just took the car out for a drive again, got about two blocks away and the “low coolant” light on the dash began blinking so I drove right back and added 2/3’s of a cup of 50/50 to the tank in the trunk to raise the level for the sensor. Drove out again, made a few errands and returned. I placed a large cardboard sheet under the car ....... after 5 hours of sitting..... not one drip!
I would think that it would start losing coolant since it obviously did that yesterday (thus the low coolant level light today on the first ride).

My thinking is that IF it’s going to leak it would be leaking all the time especially when it’s pressurized and hot.
