Yes. Check your hose clamps. Especially if the original spring clamps have
been changed to the screw type you can get some seepage during cold
weather. Just a drip though - not a gush.

My Carat, which still has spring clamps doesn't leak. My Syncro, which had
most of it's clamps replaced by the P.O. tends to seep when parked outside
in very cold weather.
