Small puddle of anti freeze. . .
Cold morning, flooded the car. Got it started following established procedures in the forum as I have done in the past, (thanks again alfy28)
Returned home from work and as I pulled back into the garage I noticed a "silver dollar" sized green puddle of anti freeze.
What is the likelihood this is from the de-flooding process of - crank, wait, crank again . . . ?
I have not added any fluid this season so it's not a spill issue. I have had the occasional drip of anti freeze for no apparent reason in the past years but this was more like 10 drips.
Bought it new in 2003, currently has 65K miles of spirited driving on the original motor.

Sometimes the coolant expands and overflows. If you look on the side of the expansion tank theres a tube to let the coolant come out if it overflows. Maybe thats it? If it is check your powersteering connectors, it can mess them up
