Default coolant leak...help...

Hi all.
I've noticed a coolant smell when I've pulled into the garage over the last few months. There has been a small puddle under the passenger front (below the radiator/accessory drive area.) Tonight I saw the drip in action, but I couldn't tell where it was coming from exactly. There were some coolant drops on the WP, but I don't know if they had fallen from somewhere else and landed on the belt. Has anyone else experienced this? Any chance there is an overflow tube in that area?

Thanks,
BJ

i wasn't leaking any coolant but my thermostat was going above the normal operating temp line and i checked the tank that holds the coolant and noticed it was empty. turns out i had a blown water pump. take it to the dealer and have it checked out.
