SR SR20 dripping coolant. any ideas what it is?

hi i drove home from work.. temp level was fine. but as i got out the car i smelled that sweet evil smell (when you smell that in a rx7 its death to your motor,i blew mine that way). i looked under the car and i could see it drippin onto the crossmember somewhat. i looked around and could see its coming from somewhere beneath the intake mani. i dont think i cracked my block cause i didnt see any oil in it and the car was running fine. but i dunno what it is, before i look anyone got a idea where its coming from? thanks guys...i was too sad so i went inside and cryd myself to sleep jk

Thoughts from ssa_is_shit

In that area, you have several possibilities. Hopefully, it is just a loose connection/clamp on the cooling lines. I know it isn't fun to put your hands in there and feel around, but you should either see or feel a small leak at one of the engine block lines or maybe the heater core connections (in or out) at the firewall. From my experience, with an SR swap, the heater connections would be the most likely culprit. They are relatively easy to see and you can reach them to check for tightness from either above or below.
