Coolant Leak Issue

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.

Easy. Use a coolant pressure tester. Watch the pressure drops and crawl under ur car to look for leaks. Either pay a shop or spend $90 and buyt the tester. Good luck man

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
