Hi, there is a small coolant drip under the right passenger door but only after the car cools down. It drips then stops leaving a small puddle. Any thoughts anyone? Im thinking a clamp may have backed off.

Gold standard is to get a coolant pressure test tool to find the leak. Pump up the system to 15 psi and find the leak.

No better way to do it.

That is where the secondary pump, the regulator and water lines to the hvac heater core run through, and on the engine side fire wall the overflow tank.

i would chance a guess on a clamp if your heater has been functioning okay, otherwise I would maybe think it was a slight leak in the regulator or secondary pump after the engine is off, any back pressure will drip from offending area, specially if the regulator is closed or near closed 

a few panels may need removing to source the issue directly either way

And as Stimpy suggested, I would second for sure, just my thoughs
