I had the same problem with a coolant leak that was hard to locate. Turned out that it was the plastic housing at the top of the motor (where you'd think the thermostat would be located). I don't know exactly what it's called but if you talk to a mechanic they know. It's some sort of coolant housing made of plastic. Anyway, that's what it was on my car. It was a small hairline crack in the housing that caused a slow (but annoying) coolant leak and made my low coolant light always come on. It cost me $40 to have it repaired at the shop. Very quick & simple job.
