Leak from a radiator hose?
  Seems to be a leak from the rad hose. Definitely not technically inclined in these things. Would the dealer think I'm nuts if I take it in for this? Any simple fix maybe? Car is 3 months old, 10 thous KM |

Is the cap on tight? Is that hose on all the way? Is there any visible signs of a crack? Can you see exactly where it coming from? You buy new car, it's leaking coolant, if it's not something simple then take it to dealer, show them the leak and they will be glad to fix it. Warranty.

Your top tank is cracked, time for a new radiator.

Take it to the dealer. It's a new car and you are still under the bumper to bumper warranty. They will get it fixed for you.

Could need a simple clamp, that is an overflow hose. If that doesn't work its the plastic tank.

You are getting a new radiator.
Mine cracked in the exact same place and soon after, it exploded. Get it to the dealer sooner rather than later otherwise you'll have a horrible mess to clean up under your hood. |

Go right away. The leak appeared minor to me so I assumed that I could wait for a convenient time to take the car to the dealer. Two days later, it literally blew up and made a horrible mess under the hood; coolant everywhere.

Update... there is no crack ANYWHERE.
I wiped off the coolant and began monitoring it to see if it leaked. Nothing. It seems as though whoever was topping up the coolant simply spilt a little. Good riddens |
