Daughter noticed there was a small amount of antifreeze on top of motor. Radiator/reservoir is full.
Thanks,

Good evening,

That could be the thermostat housing or the hose.

You need to have a pressure test done to pin point the exact leak. Once that is done and the leak found, let me know what the failure is and I can advise you on the repair.
