Default coolant/anti freeze leak

Drove me 98 jeep to the store in the morning, when I returned I saw jeep was dripping coolant from the front right hand side. Jeep had no signs of overheating. Drove jeep later that day and saw no further leaks. Should I be concerned?

Lols well yes. Check your coolant level, don't wanna run out of that. Check and make sure the cap is on tight ( not while hot!) and make sure the return hose is on and fastened down for starters. Keep an eye on it and if it happens again try and figure out where it's coming from. If you have a stock radiator it has plastic sides and you want to be sure it hasn't split or something. Let us know what you find out.

^^this. Definitely keep your eye out. Leaking coolant is a very bad thing. Try and find where it's coming from. You're gunna need to replace whatever the root cause is. Hopefully for your sake it's something as simple as a gasket

when you say front right, I assum you mean all the way front, putting it beneath the radiator. your drain spout is on the passenger side, make sure that's tight. Check your hoses, but usually when those pop, they POP. sounds like you may have a leaky radiator.
