Listeners:  Today, while changing my oil/flushing the engine I noticed cool=
ant leaking down over the transmission.  Prior to the leak developing, I ha=
d the car running at idle for about a 1/2 hour, with the temp. never going =
above normal.  After shutting down the engine and draining the oil, is when=
 I noticed the coolant leaking, but I could not see exactly from where it w=
as coming, somewhere around the firewall.  It leaked about 1 and 1/2 quarts=
 of coolant and stopped.  I filled the crankcase and started the car, leavi=
ng it run until the temp went back to normal. I shut the engine off and sta=
rted looking for the leak, but there was no leak anywhere.  I undercovered =
the compartment that houses the blower motor and saw that the drain hole at=
 the bottom was wet, but that was it, i.e. no leak anywhere.  I even checke=
d the interior for wet carpets, but all were dry.  The hoses were dry, as w=
ell as the other components. Started the engine and let it run for another =
1/2 hour still no leak.  The air co and heat both work.  Any BTDT or any id=
eas on what caused this to happen and what could be leaking.  Thanks in adv=
ance.
