Coolant leak can't find it from topside but can see it dripping ...
if I remove the skidplate from the center of the engine bay, a little to the drivers side back about even with the firewall or wheel center. Slid under the car but can't see anything other than it's leaking from somewhere.
Any guesses what I'm in for when I take it in?
P.S. - It's not the resevoir or overflow tube from the resevoir.

Afterrun coolant pump, take off the engine covers, look under the intake manifold, I bet you see a
pool of the pink stuff. Also, look at the back of the motor, between it and the firewall, I bet you'll see some there too. It's about a $120 part and a 4 hour repair.

I just had my driver side turbo coolant fitting replaced. The leak was
so small that it didn't drip in my garage but when I drove away I got a line of drips on the driveway.
They had to drop the engine (as if they were going to replace the turbo) to get at it. The part was ~$60 but labor was $900 ($130/hr). AoA cover 50% even though I've been out of warranty for 15 months.
Two days later I had a big coolant leak and had to have the afterrun pump replaced. The dealer/AoA (not sure which) covered that 100%.
Good luck.
