Coolant Leak

I just noticed some coolant leaking when I changed the oil. Its not gushing, only a few drops here and there but I want to get to the bottom of this. Its not burning coolant, just the small leak that doesn't effect cooling at all. Its running off the transfer case, anyone know of any places it could be dripping from (aside from the obvious radiator?)

I had a the same leak last week, 91 V6 5 speed. There was a small u shapped hose between the intake manafold and firewall. Had to remove intake to replace it. In light of the time it took me to remove the manafold I replaced the rest of the hoses that were back there. I couldn't see the active leak, one of my buddies knows a lot more than I do about yota's and told me to look there, he said it was pretty common on older Runners and he was right. I hope this helps.
 
Well looked into the coolant leak, and guess what? IT STOPPED? Im assuming one of the ****s at Goodyear who was checking the coolant level spilled some and it looked like it was leaking. It wasnt causing any problems before, so we will see what happens. I replaced my air filter (all bugged up) and inflaited my tires (31X10X.50) to 35psi. We will see if those low psi tires caused 13mpg.
 
Ok, so I know im not burning Coolant and the radiator is completley full. I check the resevouir and there is still some coolant in there, but its looking MIGHTY low. It doesnt look like there is a leak coming from anywhere, so how else could this be happening? Im going to fill the resevouir to full again and see what goes from there, no cooling problems though. It always runs nice and cool
