Yesterday I spotted a few drips of coolant on our drive from our 99 Sax-when I investigated I couldn't see anywhere obvious it was coming from so dried the area under the car and ran it until hot for around 1/2 hour-no sign of a leak.
Oddly enough it hasn't leaked since.

Any ideas why it would do this and it is a possible warning sign for worse to come?
Was thinking of trying a little K Seal in the system as it was only a couple of drips?

Any advice appreciated

was it defiantly coolant? best bet just keep an eye on your drive for now and keep checking your water levels. make sure the rad cap is nice and tight. check pipes where they join onto block and the rad. also check them with engine running at closer inspection, see if theres bubbles or anything. i wouldnt recommend using k seal or anything just yet as you may not need it. might have just been some condensation or something. just keep a close eye on it and report back if you notice any other issues

I`ve just had a new radiator fitted,as mine was slowly seeping coolant from the bottom where it had gone rotten.So just a heads up mate.
