Yes it could be failing, but read on.Crawl under vehicle and observe water pump area(where lower radiator hose attaches). There is a weep hole on back of pump. If there is coolant or traces of coolant residue. Suspct failing water pump or excessive pressure causing leakage. Excessive pressure can be caused by failing headgasket or gaskets. If overflow reservoir is slimy and dark,and overfull suspect headgasket.
