Default coolant problem!! :(

ok so my monte has been running great, today after school i turn on my street and decide to WOT it, i pull in to my driveway and immediately smell coolant
so i pop the hood open and dont see anything, so 20 minutes later i jump in to head to the store and when i get back i notice theres a small puddle of dexcool in the driveway, so again i pop the hood again to check it out and again i dont see nothing wrong, so i parked it farther back on the driveway and dont see the puddle anymore after about an hour, and doesnt seem to be leaking coolant from anywhere
where could it have came from??
