Potential coolant leak?
When I was backing my car out yesterday morning, I noticed a goodsized puddle of liquid under the car, it looked like coolant. I checked the coolant level and it was at the minimum. I drove the car around because I had no choice, and checked the coolant level yesterday night and again this morning. It doesn't look like any more has leaked out, and I can't find any source of a drip under the car. Anyone have any idea what this could be? Is it possible for a leak to seal itself?
Also, on a "lighter" note, my hoen city lights burnt out again, which, by my calculations, means they last an average of 2000 miles (or 300 miles if you count the time they're actually turned on).

Had a leak fixed under warranty
My '05 2.0T had a coolant leak this past winter. I noticed a little wet spot on the driveway one morning, then nothing for a while, so I didn't think much of it. After about a week, I noticed the coolant level had gone down a bit in the tank. I couldn't actually see it leaking, so I put it off again. A week later, the coolant light came on so I took it in to the dealership. They said there was some loose plug in the engine block, so they replaced it. It's been fine since.
It seemed to leak only after really cold nights.

A common problem usually involving the plastic coolant flange on the back...
of the engine. This caused a very slow leak on my 2006 2.0T. My flange was replaced under warranty with a part of the same flawed design. No improved part available as far as I know but I am told they are working on one.
