    Coolant leak only on cold nights when the car is sitting

    Getting frustrated with this car! I've replaced both coolant flanges already. The rear flange with sensor and O-rings as well as the side flange with the thermostat. Both flanges now look bone dry and I cant tell where the leak is coming from. My next guess would be the oil cooler gasket (which is less than a year old). Anyone have any thoughts? It's like something is shrinking up on cold nights and causing the leaking.

    How much is it leaking?
    You can't see any signs of leaks?
    Smell burnt coolant after driving?
    Remove belly pan and park over night on a piece of cardboard.
