Here in Canada the temp around here got to -20F last week and my Westy
sitting in the driveway (and not started for 2 months) started to weep
coolant and made a small puddle in the snow.  Now with temperatures
warming to a balmy 10F the leak has stopped.

I wouldn't immediately worry about it until warmer weather tells you
the full story.
