Coolant Leaking--HELP!

I have a 2006 TL and recently had the timing belt service done along with the thermostat and coolant flush. I just noticed that I have a coolant leak, more so when the a/c is on. It is dripping under the drivers side tire. I plan to take it back to the shop to have them look at it but until then, does anyone have any ideas what it could be?
Thanks

Check your hoses i.e. upper and lower hoses and the ac hoses. If you are taking in very soon then just check the fluid level until then.

Keep your fluid topped up and take it to the shop, tell them the situation and that you have been topping it up (if it is in fact low) and get them to pressurize the system and check for leaks. If it's a drip when the a/c is on, are you sure it's coolant and not water dropping from the evaporator core?

I have had to add coolant just a week ago so I know that it is the coolant. Def not the a/c condensate.
