Thanks for all the comments, here is an update.
My coolant leak is fixed! And it's an amazingly small repair.
Turns out the o-ring for one of the coolant thermal sensors was
leaking, but not bad enough to do so all the time. Only when the
car is running hot would it begin to leak.
So, all that was needed was to replace that o-ring. Also, one of
the coolant reservoid hoses was showing a small bit of G12 crud
at the end. Rather than replacing the hose, simply cutting the
hose end a little and reinstalling it did the trick.
Nothing expensive broke! Thank goodness. :)
