Default Antifreeze leaking after running XKR 2007 - RESOLVED

I am trying to isolate an issue with my antifreeze leaking. I own a 2007 XRK. Recent purchase with new water pump, thermostat and flush and fill. I recently had to fill the reservoir with coolant due to the fact I received an overheating indicator. every since I see a puddle underneath and loss maybe a quart of antifreeze. I thought it was over-flow, but I can smell the antifreeze burn after getting out of the car. No steam either. So I am thinking it is not a hose issue. What's my next step?

How recent is recent. Was the WP replacement part of the deal or was it done before the deal. If it was part of the deal then take it back as they did something wrong. At the very least you need to get it on a lift and and pull the belly pan and see where the leak is coming from. What ever you do it needs to be done quickly before it becomes a bigger problem.

It was a cracked expansion tank for the coolant. Thank goodness nothing too serious.
