At 100k it is time for you to consider replacing ALL of the hoses, and dont be tempted to do what I did...I resued the factory clamps. Get stainless hose clamps (wont corrode) from a local auto parts store, they are cheap. I was too lazy to go back out and in a hurry. Mine seep a little and now I have the clamps and am replacing them (next coolant change) I have no leaks on the floor but can see some telltale stains on the hoses.
Another thing it might be is a leaking water pump, if this is it you will rapidly start to lose more coolant and may hear some bearing noise, though my last one went fast. The water pump can be had for a little over 100.00 or installed by a shop for 200.00 - 300.00 depending on where you take it and where you live (parts and labour). I just replaced mine (again) and it is a DIY job, but a pain in the ass.
A split hose or a blown water pump can both leave you as road kill. Look into this now and avoid a tow and expensive repairs.
