Coolant reservoir tank leak??

About once a year I need to add about 1 cup of 50/50 water and coolant to the reservoir in my 98' Boxster. After driving the car I place a piece of cardboard under the passenger rear wheel and usually see 3 small drops (about the sized of a quarter each) of coolant stain the cardboard as the car cools down. So I know I have a leak.

I've read lots of posts on this forum and have 2 questions.....IF it's a leak in the reservoir tank will the trunk ALWAYS show signs of coolant under the carpet? Secondly, since my reservoir tank is filled to the max level mark, could it be filled TOO MUCH and dripping out of the overflow hose? Should I remove some of the tanks coolant?

thoughts.......
