Arrow Antifreeze Out of Nowhere

Hey guys I popped my hood this morning to add some oil and I found a few small droplets of antifreeze sitting on the fan shroud. I looked carefully while ti was running and I dont see any type of leak from the radiator or hose. The car hasnt been driven in 3 days and it still looked bright and fresh. What could it be?

Check the line from the overflow to the radiator...I bet either that tubing has a tiny pin hole or it's not tight enough on it's end.

water pump has a weep hole ..lets you know when it's starting to go..it's on the housing..(shaft part before the fan connects to the pump) maybe it could be that..just a thought..good luck..
