Radiator Fluid Leaking to Same Spot

I have a 2010 Tacoma. There is a radiator leak but I’m a bit confused. I fill up the reservoir, drive it around and it gradually leaks and drops reservoir level to the same spot every time (about 1” from LOW). When I give it a general inspection, the hoses seems dry, the reservoir container seems dry, there’s no drips at bottom of radiator. When I open the radiator cap there is fluid. There isn’t large pools below the radiator in my driveway and the pan underneath doesn’t appear to be pooled up.

If there is a standard leak in radiator or hoses, why isn’t it leaking all the way?

Checked engine oil and it didn’t appear out of ordinary.
