Doubt if it is cracked. Those leak coolant at the ends and sometimes it will be just enough to burn it off, so you never see it hit the ground. Check the heater hose fitting at teh Passenger side fron of intake, those corrode and leak quite often as well. Also may want to check the water pump weep hole(bottom of water pump) I have seen them leak a small amount before and get slung around by the pulley and not leave any puddles. You can take it to any certified tech (ASE) and they can repair it for you. It is between 4-5 hours of labor plus parts
