I'm at work now, car is at home. I'll check tonight. The last leak was, I believe, the lower heater hose entering the water pump....but only after many hours had elapsed. The walls of the engine compartment are kept clean, so I would be able to tell if the resevior was leaking as "diskullman" noted with his post.
The puddle was just a hair right of dead center and nearer to the right-side A-arm. That would sound like the two upper radiator hoses, or the drain on the radiator. I know those are tight, but I'll check again tonight. That copper or bronze colored metal piece between the two upper radiator hoses, that also houses a sensor with two wire clips attached to it, was somewhat pitted at the two edges, but the hoses slip well beyond the edges. I wouldn't think that could be it because it never felt wet or sticky on the hoses themselves. Is this a common or not-so-common failure point?
