I agree with Kermy - that is my first suspicion.

My wife had an 07 Cooper with the same leak that had something to do with the thermostat housing, maybe warped or a bad gasket.

Trying to pin down any other possible ideas...
2007 S convertible, in excellent shape - garage kept over winter. All the coolant hoses have been replaced (2019), and the water pump/gaskets and the coolant overflow reservoir were replaced (2020) - all by Mini techs. It runs like a sewing machine during the warm months. Every winter while parked in the garage, particularly after a very cold snap, there is a puddle of coolant under the front end. There is still coolant in the reservoir, and of course due to the ground clearance the best I can see is where the coolant has fallen onto the underside cowling from some unknown location in the middle of the car right to left, runs to a low spot, and drips. This last one is probably around 10-20cc. Any ideas at all?? What am I missing?
