Just checked, and everything is dry.
Do I need to take out the carpet looking protectant to check further?
When I first opened the rear trunk, I noticed a very slight hint of antifreeze.
You may be onto something.

Yes.
If the tank is cracked and leaking, the coolant will go under the carpet.
Very common issue in our cars.
