blonde....
If you notice the coolant going down slowly, you may find that your coolant tank has a small crack in it that only opens when the coolant gets hot. Your opaque tank probably means its original and getting near the end ....
Mine was the same @ 50,000 miles (though I think age has more to do with failures). The leak was crusting up @ the rear of the tank and was not actually dripping into the boot (trunk) area. Its only when I managed to get my fingers up behind the tank that I felt the crusty deposit left by the coolant.
Changing the coolant resevoir is another story for another day.....
