Ghost Coolant

Last night on my '98 3.4L I noticed a small amount of coolant on the bottom of the Compressor bracket, and on the lower alternator bracket bolt. The truck hasn't been driven since sunday. Today, the coolant was gone, so I pulled the skidplate for a better visual of the engine, no coolant to be seen. I drove it around, got it up to temp, and parked back under the carport, and still no coolant.

Where could this be coming from? And why is it not showing back up? Could it be headgaskets leaking and then sealing back up?

I wish it came from the overflow. It's really bugging me, because I hadn't driven the truck in 2 days, saw the coolant, and now I can't seam to get it to leak, so I can see where it came from.
