New Leaks: Coolant and Washer Fluid
Slow coolant leak, passenger side toward the read of the engine. Won't know more until I get it in a garage where it's warm. From what I've read, the aux coolant pump is a prime suspect.
Also...washer fluid leak. WTH? This one will get ignored until spring, likely.

There are a couple of hoses in the back of the engine that could have developed a leak, or even the coolant temp sensor, not necessarily the aux coolant pump.
Also, where is it leaking the washer fluid? Does it leak when you use the system, or at all times? Does it leak only when washing the headlights (with the lights turned on)?

The coolant leak from the back PS could be the coolant temp sensor, the cross over tube, or (not as likely) the aux coolant pump. If it is the aux pump shine a flash light down into the intake valley and check if there is some dried coolant around there.
I have a slow washer fluid leak from the PS headlight washer area. I'm going to wait until I do my next timing belt when everything is apart to fix this. Mine will drain the tank from full in about a month if I never use it.
Here's some picture of my adventure in finding my coolant leaks.
