Some coolant drips.

I have some coolant drips coming from the car. Seems to only drip after i drive the car. I started it up this morning on my lift and couldn't see anything dripping,took it for a drive then saw it drip on the floor but could not see where it was coming from. Here are some pics of the area i could see coolant.

get a pressure test done to help locate/identify the cause of the drip.

Although the oil around the AOS doesn't look fresh, I'd say it's time for a new one.
I'm going to need mine replaced again...original one lasted 105k or so and this second one's leaking again only about 50k into it...oh well

I ordered a new AOS and Heat exchanger. They are both there and since i have to take a lot of the top of the motor apart i'm just going to change them both. $333 in parts not too bad.
