Thanks.... no moisture under the trunk lid and no moisture under the plastic cover around the dipstick/oil filler..... I replaced the cap a few years ago with the aftermarket one recommended on this forum. The coolant tank needs about 1/2 to 1 cup of 50/50 water-coolant each year to extinguish the red blinking low coolant light so wherever it’s leaking from must be a very small leak. The coolant tank is filled to the “max” level when cold...... perhaps it’s just overfilled?

Garage
Mine lost a bit that way after water pump/ t-stat/coolant service.
I turkey-bastered some coolant out of the reservoir so it's at the halfway point when cold.
Haven't lost anymore since.
