losing coolant! help!!!

well, this just happened just now... i came back home after driving 25 miles from work, and noticed tht my radiator fan was running after i switched off the car (key was on position... i turned off the car and realized i had left the window down:p)...

i popped the hood, and saw coolant leaking from the bottom of the car... it was near the tranny area... i looked again and it seems tht the coolant was leaking somewhere in between the distributor cap, the air box and tranny dipstick... it was in between all tht, and below the top radiator hose...i filled it up with coolant, checked all the hoses and let the car run, but the coolant level seemed fine... do u think it's a leak tht happenes only when the engine is at operational temp? and is there a hose in tht area i described? thanx

btw, i have a 92 celica GT auto

Just pressure test the cooling system or have a shop press. test it. takes 5 secs, if there's a leak you'll definitely see where it's coming from.

funny thing is the coolant does NOT leak when i drive to the office... i would check the coolant level and look for any drips during lunch, but NOTHING..... only happens after i get home... any idea what might be causing this leak? i'm stumped
