Default Alright, car is jacked up with undercarriage protection off...
I'm seeing coolant splashed around near the driver's side intercooler. Coolant level is still above min and coolant does NOT appear to be constantly leaking.

I don't see any visible disconnected or loose hoses, though.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

Default did you pull the tank off...
my expansion tank was slowly leaking through a small crack near where the p/n is stamped on the underside

Default Leak is towards the bottom of the drivers IC, however,
I just pulled off the undercarriage protection from the passenger side and found my disconnected hose! woo hoo!

Oil cooler is in that general area...coolant lines feed into it.

Coolant could have been spilled from an early service possibly.

Default once car was back on level ground, level was normal
I agree with jbear about coolant being spilled. Car runs fine now.

Thanks guys
