[s-cars] Speaking of G-12 Coolant....

Does the G-12 appear to be "thinner" than the G-11?  I had my coolant
flushed and replaced a short while back when I had the water pump and
thermostat replaced.  The "old" stuff was pink, so I can't assume the G-11
was in there previously, but definitely G-12 now.

I now seem to be leaking very minimally and can't seem to figure out where?
Can smell that "maple syrup" aroma once in a while when I get out of the
car, but can't seem to find any spot that might be the culprit.  There is a
small build-up (maybe 10-20 drops worth) on the rear/middle of the belly
pan.  It only started to happen as the cool weather came around too.
Coolant temps are rock solid, even with spirited driving.

Any thoughts?  Anyone else solve this mystery?

Thanks,
