Coolant leak help

So yesterday, it was about 10 degrees out when I started the M1009- probably the coldest start for her yet. When I got to work (only about a 1.5 mile drive), I noticed a small amount of coolant leaking from under the driver side- looked like it may have been coming from area around the overflow reservoir, but I couldn't find a leak point. It hasn't ever leaked before, and by the afternoon, when it was 40 degrees and I haven't had any more leaks. Any ideas?

In cold weather , your older radiator and heater tubes will tend to leak because cold shrinks the rubber and it is old and has lost some of its elasticity. A short term solution is to tighten up your hose clamps. Maybe start to think about replacing all the hoses when you can.
