Today I popped the hood after driving and found antifreeze on TOP of the radiator right in the middle, I have no leaks.. its not cracked up there or anything.. I am stumped. I checked the hoses and the overflow tank for potential leaks.. nothing. At first I figured, ok.. it must be water from the hood latch accumulating there or something.. I soaked it up and it was antifreeze.. How the hell would antifreeze get on top of my radiator in a little puddle? Like I said, checked hoses.. car doesnt get hot, overflow tank is fine.. wtf!?
Also, I have a transmission question in the drivetrain tech if someone would be so kind as to answer it.
 
Well since you cleaned it up. I would just drive it and check it in a day or two and see if the coolant comes back in the same spot.
