Post Antifreeze Leak

I stored My 76 Monte Carlo in rental storage unit over the winter. I ran the car a couple of times over the season. When I opened the storage unit the other day, I found about a pint to pint and a half of antifreeze on the concrete. I can't tell where it is coming from. Any ideas ? There is still antifreeze in the radiator. Thanks for the help

Probably a hose leaking. It's not that uncommon when stored for time in very cold weather for a slight leak to form. Check all your hose clamps to make sure they're all tight. Hopefully that's all it is.

Was it a heated storage?Can't the freeze plugs pop out and wouldn't that leave anti-freeze on the ground?Especially if you ran it w/one out?Hopefully nothing serious.Bruce
