[s-cars] Coolant leak

[motogo1]

You might check the after run coolant pump. They  tend to fail and start
leaking at 90k miles.

Listeners:  Today, while changing my oil/flushing the engine I noticed
coolant leaking down over the transmission.  Prior to the leak developing, I
had 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 was
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, leaving it
run until the temp went back to normal. I shut the engine off and started
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 checked the
interior for wet carpets, but all were dry.  The hoses were dry, as well 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 ideas on
what caused this to happen and what could be leaking.  Thanks in advance.
