Coolant leak drivers side

I woke up to this morning to a coolant leak under my X5 50i. I didn't notice it leaking when I parked it last night so not sure when it occurred. I popped the hood and found coolant around the reservoir tank.



I thought it maybe leaked out of the cap area. Checking the level it was just below the min. There was coolant on the underside of the hood, so there was enough pressure to make it splash up. I started up the car, let it warm. Didn't see it leaking at all.

I pulled the car forward, leaving it running and looked under the car to find it leaking pretty good, created a small pool. I moved the car back into my parking spot and it wasn't leaking like it was before.



I drove around the block twice to see if I left a trail of coolant which I did, but when I looked under the car is wasn't leaking at that point. I looked under the hood again but didn't see anything leaking.
