[s-cars] Grrr. Coolant loss!

[K.C. Madsen]

I found my leak at one of the easy-to-get-to clamps on a hose coming from
the reservoir.

Rich - is the belly pan cover on your car?  If so, it'll be tough to spot
coolant drips unless you remove it.  (actually called a 'sound dampener', I
believe...)

Pull the cover and check for stains.  That may help localize it.
