Very common, mine failed at 6,000 miles. Took the dealer a few days to get the replacement part.

Default a couple of o-rings, also under the intake manifold...(m)...

appears that besides the after run / auxilary water pump there is a coolant "pipe" that runs through there too.
got lucky though, they originally thought one of the leaks was at the back of the engine block, which would have meant removing the transmission to fix.
A of A picked up the tab, even though my car is out of warranty and i have an aftermarket extended warranty.
