Anti-freeze leak

I recently purchased a 2005 Mini Cooperwith 6,200 miles on it. For some reason I have a small puddle of anti-freeze on the floor of my garage. I had taken it back to the place of purchase and they pressure tested it and after passing they determined it was the reservoir cap and replaced it. However, while not a major drip it still is depositing small puddles on the floor. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks

RE: Anti-freeze leak

Your thermostat housing is leaking. This is a common and simple problem; not serious unless you don't replace coolant5. I had mine fixed at dealer under warranty.

Just a known defect in an O-Ring or something. There was no recall but if it leaks they usually won't even ask questions.
