99 4WD 5.9 Druango leaking coolant....
I have noticed a little leak under my Durango. The funny thing about it is it changes every day? Even every stop. For instance I drive it to work today, 3 drops. Drive it home, stopping to get the kids at daycare, there was a softball size puddle under it at daycare, got home, nothing. The only place that the coolant seems to be leaking is onto and behind the balancer. No sign of leaking on the top of the engine. Of course there is dried coolant all over the place. The balancer is throwing it everywhere. The lower radiator hose has a little coolant on it at the water pump and the radiator. I put a picture on here, hard to see anything from it... wish it would leak when I was at home and not when I am in my clothes for the office...

There is a hole in the bottom of the water pump called a weep hole. If the pump is going bad, coolant can run out of that hole and down the front of the engine between the vibration damper and timing gear cover. Run your fingers on the bottom of the pump and you can feel the weep hole. If finger gets wet it's water pump time.
