Engine coolant on the floor
Low coolant light comes on. Visual check recovery tank low in coolant, top off. Next day, coolant on floor. After 3 weeks, low coolant light comes on again, again some coolant on floor. What could be the reason, make a appointment with the dealer coming Friday, should I be driving it till then? Luckily, still under 4 years warranty with 34K miles.

Re: Sounds like heater hose or heater core. How much coolant? Drive how much this week?
Just top off engine coolant again today. About 100 to 150 miles a week. Thanks for your input!

You're right! I was thinking floor of car, and not on the ground.
If it's on the ground, I would not drive it. Could be minor, could be imminent catastrophic failure of some critical part (water pump, hose, etc).
