About once every two weeks, I notice a small puddle of antifreeze under my car after it has been parked a couple of hours. I cannot tell where it's coming from and the next day and following week there will be nothing under the car. I've checked the fluid levels and everything is fine, including the coolant. Also, the service engine soon light has come on again. It came on about a year ago but went off one week later. Also, my tailpipe sprays a mist of water when started on a cool morning. Engine itself sounds great. Suggestions?

First, the antifreeze, did you happen to fill it previously? Cause it sounds like it could just be overfull and bleeding off the excess.

Second, the light, take it to an autozone or other chain that will scan your codes free. Let us know what they are.

Third, the mist. Cool morning you say? Any other time? It's just condensation buildup in your exhaust. Nothing to worry about unless it gets worse and turns into gray smoke.

Good luck
