Coolant leak

I have a really small coolant leak in my 98 EX. It's not a huge deal, but I'm about to do a flush and refill, and I want to figure it out before I do that. It's just a really small leak, it takes in coolant from the reservoir and I end up having to refill it every 3 months or so (I'm also about to replace the thermostat). the leak is coming from the right side of the engine bay, unless it's just dripping from somewhere else. Any clue what it could be?

Re: Coolant leak

Sure the dripping is the AC?
see any dried coolant anywhere? The rads tend to seep at the seams where the aluminum and plastic meet

Re: Coolant leak

I haven't seen any dried up, I know earlier this year I saw it drip a little and it was on the right side (it wasnt the ac condenser), there's also the fact that the coolant level does go down, but like I said, it's an insanely small amount. Should I check the radiator seems?

Re: Coolant leak

It's a good spot to check, also all the hoses. You can also post pictures of anything that seems suspicious
