Car's a 2000 Ford Escort ZX2.

I'm having an issue where I can't find this coolant leak. It only leaks while the engine is cold, and not all that much. It drips about 2 tablespoons of fluid until it warms up, and then it's fine. The hoses look/feel good, with no cracks or leaks. The car doesn't leak when it's cooling down either.

Any help would be great.

Make sure all the clamps and things are tight as well.. There's prolly a small crack in one of the hoses you can't see.. or an old wore out gasket on somthing
