Leaking coolant???
Just got my car out of the snow. There was yellowdrops on the snow where the motor was parked above. I put the car in a new spot, and 10 mins later there was more liquid. I moved it again. Opened the hood, and twisted the rad cap(it was cool by the way). And liquid came up ...maybe a tbsp. I closed it and left the car for now. Any ideas???

How many kms on it? water pump? loose hose clamp? leaking hose?
The overflow bottle is where you can tell if there is a problem, its job is to keep the radiator full. If you fill the bottle to the cold line and make sure the radiator is full, then see what it does.
If if gets lower in the bottle, a visual and pressure test of the cooling system is in order.

I just drove 15 miles, and no problem, and there was no leaking on the 3rd parking spot. Granted we had a shit load of snow, and the car was bried in the front. There is some snow jammed underneathe, I can feel the car shake when I drive. But the temp stayed at 1/3 high. I will go check shortly

I just checked what I think is the resevoir. Which I believe is a transparent cylinder to the right of the rad. It doesnt look full, but I cant see anything identifying a level. But there is still no leaking. Does the car have a natural discharge???

only the AC drips clear water condensation when you shut the car off - no other fluid should come out
the motor mount- if oil filled on your year- also leak a wierd when broken
here is the owner book link- click your year and model for help on locating all the things under the hood
