Coolant hose leak somewhere!?

So i left the car sitting in the garage after i gave it a wash and 2 stage wax. And today wednesday I turned on the car let it warm up properly because i havn't driver her in awhile, and i look under the car seems to be dripping coolant, not alot, very little. but i came to notice it was somewhere near the rear engine wall, and it would drip down the side of the front end of the transmission. anybody know where that would be?? cuz shes always had a very minor coolant leak but never noticed where til today.

HELP ME!!! oh yeah, i searched. found one but not sure what it meant.

there is a hose that comes off the backof the block and feeds the cold start and the BAC valve(Follow the cold start valve down to the motor). You have to take off the upper intake manifold to fix it. Takes around 2-4 hours to rip it off and put it back on. Where in socal you at?

Check the heater hoses. The heater hose on the drivers side tends to get damaged due to oil leaking onto it throught he oil filter pedestel

If its Dripping around the bell housing, more than likely, its the Cold Start Line, or as Socalrotor was saying.... It happend to me. But the thing was leaking enough to have to fill up every 10 miles too. Me and a friend replaced it in like an hour cause we didnt pull the Upper Intake Manifold, its possiable to do, BUT AN UBBER PAIN IN THE BUTT... specialy if you dont have long skinny arms... lol Mazdatrix hasm but ive been told any good small fuel/coolent hose would work...
