SEVERAL TIMES NOW I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN THE DAY TIME TEMP IS AROUND 95 AND THE EVENING TEMP COOLS DOWN TO AROUND 65, THE NEXT MORNING I SEE A WET SPOT OF COOLANT ON THE GROUND AT THE FRONT CENTER OF THE VEHICLE. I CAN EVEN SEE A FEW DROPS DROPING OFF THE OIL FILTER. WHATS THIS ALL ABOUT? IS IT THE TEMPERATURE CHANGES CAUSING THIS? I SEE NOW OTHER COOLANT LEAKS? VEHICLE DOES NOT RUN HOT; HOSE CLAMPS TIGHT, ETC.

Check the weep hole on the water pump (under the shaft). When the shaft seal starts to go, it will first leak from the weep hole and usually makes it's way down and drips off the oil filter.
Replace the pump now before it gets worse or the bearing siezes.
The weep hole is hard to see, but from under neath you can with a good light.
