From where is coolant leaking?

Im not sure it leaks real bad but I only see it after I drive then go in somewhere and when I get back it's just a bug puddle and running from the front somewhere but when I go home jack it up get under it and let it run it never leaks a drop???

Check the water pump weep hole carefully for any coolant stains.

Also check the hose that connects the radiator to the coolant overflow tank. It may be broken or cracked and would tend to dump fluid when the engine is at operating temperatures and after being driven.
