I have a 2003 3.8L mustang with 23,000 miles on it. I've noticed at times, a small bit of water under the front of it in front of the radiator. The other day, my son said when he walked by it, he could hear a hissing sound and water dripping on the ground. When I went to look, the sound had stopped and there was indeed water on the gound. I could not tell what color it was as it had almost evaporated but I assume it was radiator fluid. The strange part was that the vehicle had not been driven for over a day and the ambient temperature was about 65 degrees. I started the vehicle and left it run for a while but it did not leak any fluid.
Any clues as to where this leak might specifically be coming from? I thought maybe it was spraying out of the lower part of the radiator but if that was the case, why didn't it leak when I had run it? The overflow tank still has fluid in it.
TIA,
