Check for leakage just above the exhaust manifold on the drivers side of the engine
I was told by my saturn dealer that the leakage is at the oil cooler
coolant leaks onto manifold and is boiled away so it will not show on the floor of the garage.
Testimonial: "Excellent and timely response and help."
This is an update to my previous answer, I had a coolant leak problem and as I said my Saturn dealer
indicated an oil cooler leak was the probable cause.
I decided to wait it out and let the amount of leakage increase before taking it in.
their was another possibility of leakage at the thermostat housing, however this was not the location of the leak.
The mechanic had to remove the intake plenum and other hardware to access the top of the oil cooler.
This was the source of the leak. The oil and coolant systems were drained.
The oil coolant cover and the related tubings were removed and all new seals gaskets tubing and
oril coolant cover were reinstalled, coolant system was flushed and new Dex Cool installed oil and oilfilter were replaced.
The total for all this came to almost $ 760.00.
So much for leaking head gaskets.

i based my solution on the fact you have never seen any coolant on the ground, so have you seen coolant??
pay close attention to the water pump.
WHITE STAINS FROM DRIED COOLANT
U WILL NEED TO HAVE A SHOP PRESSURE TEST THE COOLING SYSTEM TO SEE IF ANY LEAKS SHOW UP, U COULD HAVE JUST OVERFILLED THE BOTTLE BUT U SHOULD HAVE SEEN COOLANT STAINS THERE AS WELL, SO TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT THAT.. I HAVE TO GO OUT NOW FOR REGULAR PAYING WORK SO YOU WON'T HERE FROM ME AGAIN UNTIL NEXT SATURDAY, GOOD LUCK.

thank you
The car has been in the garage for the last hour and I am waiting for it to cool down to check hoses etc. But I do not see one leak other than water from A/C. The coolant in the resevoir is about 1 inch below the cold line. Is it possible that I added too much coolant the last two times when the car was still hot and it boiled over?
Yes, we saw coolant on the garage floor this morning. I am letting the car cool down and I see no leaks after two hours, but I am seeing the coolant level in the resevoir go down lower.
No doubt, I will need to get under the car to check this.

Had a pressure test done and they did not see any leaks. Today I noticed coolant leaking from passenger side engine about 1 foot back from the radiator.
