Anti Freeze leak

For the past 2 months my car is leaking anti freeze, it only leaks overnight. If I drive the car during the day and park it on a clean area there is not leak , if I leave it on the same place the following morning there is a 3 inch spot. The radiator is always full but the reservoir has to be refilled

I checked every where, the only place i found some was on the lower control arm but cant determined where is coming from..Any ideas where to look??

I would keep looking around the reservoir and all the way to the control arm. It is there. If you do not fill up/top off the reservoir, does it just empty out?

I did not think of that! I wont refill the reservoir and check the radiator to see if it goes down.

Thanks

Yeah, I had one crack on me once. They're plastic, so they can crack over time and leak coolant. That might be your issue.
