I think my brick must be getting old. I have had 4 problems in the last 6 months.
I noticed about one handful of coolant on the garage floor. I checked the hoses and all are tight. I noticed the transmission filler area is wet with green coolant as it dripped from above and leaked down. From under the car there is a small thin hose, actually 2 of them but only 1 seems to be leaking. This is in an area within 6 inches of what looks like a cushion or something. But what i can see are two hoses running above the transmission and maybe the cushion is the engine mount? this is as you open the hood kind of on the right side of the engine area but going down into the engine behind the engine. I am trying to be descriptive here. Does anyone know what those hoses come from and how hard they are to access? From what i can see they are really hard to get to.

I am thinking of replacing both those hoses. There seems to be a thumb nail like hairline crack causing a leak. The hoses dont look to be that worn. Can anyone tell me more about this area?
