Does co-signing for my daughter's auto loan lower my credit score much?

Will show up as an outstanding loan.  Really doesn't lower your score if paid on time, but may upset your debt to income ration which could make additional loans a problem.

Also, your credit rating will be tied to hers. If she goes down (overdue CC, etc), yours will go down too. Can be risky. ~JC~
