Park your patrol where you know it's clean,
you might of parked over someone else's problem

Check your MAF sensor and disconnect the battery for a few hours.

best way

go for a drive (during the day light hours) for about 1-2 hours, get it nice and warm
park in a nice clean area, and leave it for about 20 mins

come and check then
if there is any stains on the ground of fresh coolant
have a look in the engine bay for any wet spots, that will give you an idea on where to look, it may be a pin prick of a leak in a hose

but it WILL leave evidence and you can track it from there

also as TD said, you sure it wasn't there before you parked there?

Normally you can smell coolant leaks, it may leave
a white residual powder where it was leaking to.

Have you checked your coolant level? If your not loosing coolant, it's not yours.
