Saw some drips blowing back on the left under engine area.
Luckily wasn't a head gasket, also wasn't coming from the engine compartment.

Thanks to you guys I knew right where to look,
LR inner rocker panel area under the floor board at the factory hose clamps.
Cleaned up nicely with WD40 and scotch brite

Perforated hose clamp but one of the better ones, no sharp edges at the cut outs, also a furniture leg pad to prevent any rattling

WD40 in the rocker pinch-weld after cleaning up coolant

Thinking about pulling glovebox, floor and replacing most of the hose clamps with these stamped non-perforated type, also may put a fancy machined alloy bag hook while at it (but $50 bucks is a lot to replace a part that already looks OK and works)

I love the fourth picture, the cheat. I'm going to try that as well to fix my leak (again…).

Thanks for the nice write-up!
