    Clean it all up and let it idle up to operating temp while watching it. Watch around the hose clamps, hoses, radiator, and the front of the engine. Good luck, hope its something simple.

    Mine was doing the same exact thing. After searching around I found the leak coming from the water manifold and the coolant was flowing behind the plastic timing cover on the drivers side. There are gaskets on the heater inlet and outlet hoses as well as on o-ring on the bypass hose. My gaskets were broken and the o-ring crumbled apart when i took it out. $10 bucks for parts at St. Charles and some time and it hasnt leaked since.

    Just a thought
