Matt, I'd suggest you take it to a shop and have them pressure test the cooling system; that'll usually locate the leak.
Otherwise, any coolant that leaks out gets blown around by the fan when you're running, and flows downhill when you're not- so where you see the coolant may be nowhere near the leak!

Depends on whom you're dealing with... if there's a garage you've been doing business with, they'll probably do it for nothing. I can't imagine anyone charging more than 10 bucks or so- it's just a small manual pump that attaches in place of the radiator cap, a few strokes of the pump brings the system up to pressure, and then it's just look for the antifreeze to find the leak.
