Small coolant leak on driver side

I’m seeing a small coolant leak underneath the driver side. I checked under the hood to see where the leak comes from but I couldn’t find or see anything. Anyone know where this leak comes from? Thank you!

My guess is, it's coming from the cooling system.
A picture of the puddle on the ground is useless. Peak around under the hood some more, you should find it.















The radiator hoses connect to the engine on the drivers side. If it were me, that's where I'd start looking.

You just have to reach in (starting from the highest point that the leak would likely start, and work your way down.) Use a paper towel so that it's really easy to see if there are wet spots where you're feeling around.

Feel where the radiator hoses connect on both sides. Then, where the heater hoses connect on both sides. Then underneath the radiator. And just continue to work your way down. Water doesn't always leak straight down. It might take an easy, crooked pathway that's a foot or more to the side of the leak.
