sorry nobody has replied. I cannot help, not knowing your area, but a response might prod another in your area with suggestions.
It is probably a hose leak, but everyone is here help you, so help us.
what year, model and mileage on the car?
anything else you could think relevant to your problem, such as recent service, topped off coolant a week ago, CEL lights etc?

Plus, let us know what you find, how it works out, etc.

Best of luck

Thanks, Tony. The car is a 2002 S with about 80k miles. I've owned it for 2.5 years and its been relatively trouble free. I checked for codes with my obdii scanner and got no hits. The engine seemed to be running fine when I shut it down.

I took a peak under the car in the afternoon. There is an active drip towards the front of the oil pan. It appears to be coolant. The level in the coolant tank also appears to have dropped a little as well. Neither the trunk carpet or the interior carpet appeared to be wet. The oil level also appeared to be fine.

I'll look at it again on Monday and see if it's still dripping.

Are there any easy/obvious things I should be checking? How risky would it be if I topped off the coolant and tried to drive it home or to a shop?
