Default 2001 Mercedes C320 - Antifreeze Leak???

Hi I am a new member of this forum. I have a Mercedes 2001 C320 that I bought last year. The car mostly sits in the garage as I take the Metra to work. Yesterday I noticed that the car has a few clear spots of fluid on the garage floor. My boyfriend told me that it was antifreeze. I have a few questions:

1) what are common problems that would cause this to leak?
2) can I drive the car as long as the leak is small?

Thanks for you help.

Tabitha

Default Anti-freeze leak

If the leak is clear and like water it's probably condensation from the air conditioner. Anti freeze feels greasy and should be green or red colored depending on the brand.
