Could be the heater core

I have the same car you do and I have a small leak as well. One possibility is the heater core. If it is leaking, it can be seen from the drain hose. From under the car, look for a hose that protrudes from the firewall and turns down. It is about 1" diameter, tapered on the end. The hose is less than 6" long. If you see green around the end of the hose, it is probably the core.
It could be the type of thing that only leaks when the engine is warmed up and the system is pressurized enough.
I just had mine in the shop last week and they wanted $500 for a new core. They recommended I try "Bars Leaks" instead.
It's too early to report if it worked or not.
Hope this helps.
