Question Coolant leak..????

I have a 2001 EX Limited PSD 4X4..I have just noticed a coolant leak about 4 feet long on the passenger side of the truck, my first thought is because I parked on a hill with the front of the truck a little higher than the rear. I can't see any leaks I am wondering if it leaked out of a hose or fitting and ran down the frame and dripped in the snow. My coolant level is fine, I just drove 800 miles to northern WI and back and now parked level in my garage I have no leaks on floor. ????? It is either when truck is warming up or cooling down. Any idea where to start?? thanks guys..

have you filled the rad up before you noticed the leak ?

only asking as if you overfill the fluid it will, once hot and pressurized, blow it out the overflow, and get back to its normal level.
