Found a small puddle today after work. Popped the hood and saw this:



I drove home about 25 miles, still at the same level when i got back. I parked it, waited about 15 mins and no leaks or drips. I am going to check again later.

I have a 2011 build date of Feb 2011, i can't imaging i am having the water pump issue am i???

could be the intercooling radiator up front got punctured.

+1 Do you do alot of HWY driving? Most likely the Front Intercooler..also could be the Radiator with a puncture. Get some mesh for the front to protect everything. I did that NWS mod as soon as I took delivery of my car.

Yeah highway to commute to work and back. Just went to check my car and it is indeed leaking. Hopefully there is still coolant left in the morning to make it to the dealer.

have you confirmed that you actually have alum water pump? check it (visible with hood open). Have you had your T-Stat updated?

Yes i have the alum water pump, also t-stat apparently didn't effect my build date (2/2011) according to another post here.

well get your dealer to sort this out for you ASAP. hopefully something minor. One guy here has a pinhole hose leak. on my last coolant leak (SC IC leak), my car was out of commission for 15 days.

15 days???!!! why so long?

rktskicar

they damaged one of my supercharger ICs during T-Stat replace and it was leaking coolant. There were no available parts in the USA or Germany, so I had to wait for parts to be built in Germany before I could get my car fixed...
