Default Got a small coolant drips

I have a 2009 C4S with 104K miles. When I pulled the car out of garage I noticed small amount, maybe a few drops of coolant around the area of front right wheel. How do I proceed with this? Can this be DIY or I need to bring the car in? I have this car for 9 years and it is nearly bulletproof.

I would check the coolant hose connections to the front radiator/s and the radiators itself. My friend had a similar issue and was a small hole in the radiator that was cause by a rock on the highway.

Sorry for not replying. I had some time and took out the front right wheel to see. I noticed there is a small leak on the lower pipe. Is that water hose supply or return line? Or something else completely, I used my finger and touched the liquid and it did smell like coolant. I had to add coolant lately and this is the first since 9 years of ownership and I have been smelling coolant lately around the front right of the car.
