    coolant only leaks out enough to empty the reservoir

    I seem to have a small coolant leak, It empties the reservoir but stops there. My water temp is well below the middle line, as i think the previous owners installed a 70* thermostat. The coolant seems to be leaking from around the left wheel and only enough to trip the coolant like and not effect the actual cooling of the engine.

    Any thoughts on where/what to look at?

    Overflow is by behind the left wheel. If coming out there, I would suspect a faulty radiator cap first, more serious issues second (blown HG). There is also a main hose running from the reservoir to the left side of the motor -- wouldn't hurt to look at hose connections/look for cracks.
