Mine does the same thing. I noticed it first last winter when the temp got to freezing. It's intermittent but usually presents itself when it gets below freezing. Always goes away when it warms up. I generally don't see a leak if I drive daily. When it goes undriven for several days or more (during cold weather) it comes back. I have another engine that I hope to get installed some day (I have no free time). Until then I live with it since it's pretty minor.
