Just started noticing a small puddle of water/coolant on the garage floor
in the morning. So I look everywhere for a leak, no signs on the topside
of the engine or near the radiator. I look under the car and see droplets
on the sway bar. where is this coming from? It only leaks after the engine
has been turned off for a while. And not much.

Just checked the heater core in and out......dry as a bone, no leaks.
Is it posible for water to be leaking into the valley and draining out the back.
Ive checked out everywhere I can see with a flashlight.

Take a good look at the coolant/oil filter adapter on the driver side of the block where your lower rad hoist connects. The gasket may have gone bad or the adapter may have cracked. Also see if you can get a mirror under your intake and check the coolant tube.

If it is clear water it is the AC drain line and its normal operation.
