Well, I think I may have found my coolant leak. Rear passenger side, between head and block. I know it's loosing coolant slowly, but other than that, I haven't noticed any other signs of leakage. I've been getting the "Low coolant level" every couple of months. The colling system doesn't seem to pressurize any more than normal from temperature. The only other possibility would be if that was runoff from the time or two I've leaked coolant on the top of the engine. Assuming it is in fact the leak, and not just the previously mentioned runoff, does this leak mean I'm likely to have a larger HG failure, of will it likely be ok for quite some time?
Edit: I just poured some water on the top of the engine about where the coolant has been leaked, and I don't think the residue on the block is entirely from that; It MAY be partially, but the water's path only came as far forward as the blue circle and only made a 3/16" thick path down the block along the path of the blue line.
