Coolant Leak I have a small coolant leak on my Sonoma that seems to only leak when the truck sits. It's coming from somewhere above the starter, because it's dripping off the transmission and starter. Head gasket maybe freeze plug? I hope neither but i can't see any leaking hoses and it seems to be a pretty steady drip leak. Please help!

Uh...with that info all I can say is you have a leak somewhere around the tranny and starter....lol
You're gonna have to get up under there ( on ramps or a lift) while its running after its fully HOT.....with a flashlight and look for the leak. If you don't see it while its running...shut it down after its fully HOT and look everywhere again while its sitting there for about 15-20 minutes. It will get hotter and build more pressure for a little while after its shut down.
