Default Coolent Low warning

Today wile driving the "Coolent Low" warning came on. So I pulled over to check and it looks as if leaking from the tank by the fire wall. However I can't see exactly where. Can anyone shine the light for me? Where to look & if that's is where I should be looking?

Help Me Please!

Welcome to the forum!

The coolant reservoir is famous for having sudden and mysterious leaks.

The best solution is to 'rent' a cooling system pressure test kit from any of several auto parts stores. Pump the system up cold and the leak will be evident.

I had a leak that never as much as dropped a drop or even smelled of coolant. Pumped up the test device and a very fine mist appeared out of the side of the coolant reservoir. But it could be anywhere.
