Took the family out for my sons birthday dinner tonight, was backing into the parking spot when I smelled coolant and saw the steam. Couldn’t find the leak at first only a potential location. I keep a gallon of coolant in the trunk area, topped off the reservoir, had dinner then limped it ten miles home.
Pulled up to the garage and saw a small amount of fluid on the ground, touched it/tasted it. I was like yeah, that’s coolant. Searched around for a few minutes checking hoses over thinking a spring clamp had relaxed and began to leak, then I shined the light on the inside fins and saw all the coolant on the drivers side radiator fins.
117,364 miles on the 2018 Pentastar V6, always had to top off the reservoir every 10k as I thought it was burning or evaporated just a little bit but maybe it was a pinhole leak that eventually got worse.
