small leak then stops?

So I come to my car one day and I see a small spot of oil leak in the middle by the engine look under and nothing was leaking kept checking never saw anything leak couple weeks after I changed my oil (mobile one) all still seems like its not leaking then few days ago I go to my car start her up and see a small leak of anti freeze just little drops falling down so I moved her out of the garage and looked under nothing was leaking? I put alittle more anti freeze in the barrell just in case and drove off been checking since and nothing is leaking what can it be?? Are these the signs of water pump going bad?

I was stuck driving for 9 hours in the blizzard few weeks back maybe a hose is un hooked? But it was very very little like small dime drops.

The level now is alittle over maximum amount needed.

Should I just keep driving and checking up on it? I went to my mechanic he said it might be signs of water pump but did not put her on the lift or anything.

you ask many questions. I'd continue to monitor it, and make sure it isn't leaking on anything that it could damage (ie. alternator). Did you oil look messed up at all? Any milky substance to it? Is your car overheating at all? Any gunk in your coolant lines?
