Antifreeze is leaking, but don't know where

I checked the radiator, bucket, checked hoses, jacked the car up and went under and looked, but I can't find anything except for more wet spots on the ground. I first noticed this yesterday as I was backing out the drive, so I got out to see what kind of fluid it was and it was antifreeze. Then this morning I seen another spot on the ground. I had parked somewhere else to see if it would still leak and sure enough it was more antifreeze... How could it be leaking if the radiator and bucket were both still full?

perhaps from behind the waterpump when the engine is hot and then it reseals when it cools off?

Yep either the pump seals or the pump bearing.
The bearing has funny habits of leaking when your not actually looking at it.
Theres a small hole under the pump, check there with a mirror.
