The strangest thing

So pullin the car outta the garage(engine Cold) i noticed some drips on the ground (4 to be exact). Parked it and went to check it out. It felt and looked like coolant. So decided not takin the car today for work and i grabbed my bike. As im leavin i look at my car and see a trail of waterish liquid coming out. So got home from work and pulled the car back in the garage and popped the rad cap off. Its full looked at over flow tank its a little low under the full line. let it run until it got hot turned the a/c on to get it hotter. Looked under the car and not a drip felt under the chassis and looked around and i can see any signs of coolant so WTF?? I think i might have the ghost of a piece of crap car fused with my car

Re: The strangest thing

if its green, logic would say coolant to me? if you looked around the bottom and it seemed dry, try a coolant passage higher up that has a clear path to the ground. Do you have your stock splash shield on?
