Coolant Leak - From Head Gasket ?

96 Golf. I recently noticed coolant collecting on the left rear bottom
(as you face the engine compartment) of the engine. All hoses appear
dry and secure. I suspect the coolant is coming from a leak in the head
gasket. There's no noticebable coolant on the oil dip stick or filler
cap. The coolant reservoir loses about 1-2 ounces of fluid over two
weeks time - and I don't drive the car much. Will this worsen over time
and should I get it fixed immediately? Or can I continue to drive it
and fill the coolant as needed? Thanks.

Correction: I should have said the RIGHT rear corner of the engine as
you face it.

My money is on the coolant flange on side of head! Havn't done a headgasket
in years!

Hmm? For us amateurs, what is a "coolant flange" and what is the fix?

It's the port where the water hose connects to the head. And my money's
with Woodchuck's. Common place for leaks.
