Last winter I noticed a spot on the ground (looked like antifreeze) right after a very cold spell when my motorhome was in storage. In the spring I took it to a repair facility and they did a pressure test and all came out OK. All spring, summer and fall I did not see any spots below the engine. Now, this winter, especially during very cold spells, I am noticing spots on the pavement. Could this be expansion due to the cold and antifreeze being forced out between the radiator and the level check tank? The vehicle is a class A 2005 Itasca Suncruiser on a Workhorse chasis with a Chevy engine.

Expansion is from heat not usually cold temps.

If this happens during cold weather only what can be happening?

I would have another pressure test done when it is cold. It is always best to simulate conditions when problem occurs.
