Coolant leak

[IanG1]

I have developed what looks like a very minor coolant leak which appears as a few drips on the floor pretty much under the area of the oil filter housing. Only really leaks as the car cools down after running, nothing when car is running. Had a look from the top and also looks damp around the area where the oil dip stick enters the engine? Not sure this is connected. Any ideas before I haul myself under the car for a good look, only changed the oil a few weeks back and didn't notice anything then.

Have a look around your oil cooler. It's the thing that looks like a rusty oil biscuit tin sat on top of the engine at the front driver's side. Look for pink candy floss type residue around it. Mines leaked round there before but can recrystalise and seal it up again.

Thanks, I had that cover below the oil cooler leak on my old boxster looking at the picture.
