357FWLFT parked at seasonal site year round in northern MN. Looking at it today open it up and noticed a drip or two of antifreeze in lower storage area under drain trap. Couple other spots as well near connections. Not big at all, just a drop or two. I keep thinking I’ve seen this before, is it normal?

You should not have a leak. antifreeze doesn't just leak out.

It sounds like a "frozen/split fitting" or a valve seat on the faucet that was damaged by freezing.

What ^^^^Ruff said. No, no leak is normal, other than the usual water leaking at the park's hose bibb at the ten year old back flow preventer. Seems like they invariably leak now and then. The only way I know to find the leaks is under pressure. Be sure to run all the antifreeze out before you go in search. Good luck.

Sometimes the plumbing fittings loosen with time and travel. Give them all a finger tight snug up at least once per season.
