I had VERY HARD TO SEE "spider cracks" in the coolant reserve tank. As the coolant got hot the increased tank pressure would cause the "spider cracks" to expand and coolant would collect under the trunk's raised flooring. The trunk carpet remained dry because the coolant would slosh around but under the trunk's floor, eventually it would drip out but only a few small drops at a time,and difficult to see. Every couple months I'd top off the coolant.....eventually I figured out what was happening.......I replaced my 20 year old tank.....problem solved.
