coolant leak

[cstrat]

95MTx with 60K. On cold starts, it leaks less than a taplespoon of coolant, then stops when it warms up. Only place I can detect mositure is drivers side dripping off the cowling around radiator. Can't see where it's coming from. Radiator replaced at 37K. Anyone else ever have this problem?

Very common SHO problem with radiators that are metal and endtanks that are plastic, when it's cold the metal shrinks and allows a small amount of fluid to leak it'll get worse with age.

Best solution I have found was to buy a life time warranty radiator from Autozone when it leaks replace it again for free.
