Need help finding a coolant leak!
I have a 07 c6 z51. I’ve had a coolant leak for a while now , but I can’t pint point where is the leak coming from. I see a puddle front drivers side near the Headlight. Also it’s starting to overheat. Any ideas? TIA!… p.s also thinking on adding a supercharger. Should I upgrade the radiator now? Or no need?

That location is near the coolant reservoir, so I would verify all of the hose connections to the reservoir and the reservoir itself for leakage. There are only 2 nuts holding it in place, and once they're removed you can lift the reservoir up and access the lower hose connection as well. It could also be your radiator end tank leaking which would mean a new radiator. It's probably best if you can jack the car up and let it warm up to operating temp and closely inspect all connections from topside and from below.
