LOW COOLANT :sad5: and there was a small puddle where I started the car (it had been sitting for a few days). So I drove couple miles (refilled the reservoir at service station), got back and nothing was dripping anymore.started it again today, popped the hood while it was idling. Not much gone from the reservoir, but again a small puddle right after start up! So not 1 minute later I drive it up the curb to look underneath and it stops leaking!I don't get it?! what the hell is going on. Seems like the same spot as last time (wp weaphole) but the inner ring of the wp-pulley feels dry and it seems to stop leaking after 10 seconds?! Which seems odd considering it emptied the entire reservoir in 2 weeks and I hardly drive the car.</blockquote>
