Ben,
Are you running straight water in your radiator? If your leak were coolant
colored, I would say to check the hoses and gaskets on the choke assembly
(the part of the carb toward the front of the car; unless it has been
converted it has a water choke with a couple of hose fittings). Failing
that, I suppose it could be leaking fuel, but you should know gas if you
see (smell) it. That's my guess anyway. Watch closely while it's running to
see if you can find it. If not, either just keep an eye on fluid levels and
wait for it to get worse (not the preferred method), or dry it well, dust
it with some talcum powder (talk about babying your car), and watch for the
spot. If it's the hose, make sure the clamp is tight, and if it is, then
replace the hose. If it's around a gasket area, then get a new gasket. Good
luck.
