Default Coolant Leak..Dex-cool

Anyone have a problem with a leak? Just got home from a long day out and started to leak when i parked it...with in 5 mins there was a big puddle...Look under the hood and see it wet under the Fill bottle..So i wonder if the bottle is cracked or anything like that..Anyone give me an idea what to check>?Going to look at it in the morning when i can see better....

No problem with mine and I have not heard of any colant leaks. How full was the fill? The engine heat expands the coolant and if it was overfilled, it may have over-flowed. Good luck and if it continues, take it in for service. Bill

The Tank is basicly Empty...I Guess i can still drive the car ..Because the problem is a crack in the tank by where it screws down at...Drove the car to the store and watched my Temp gauge..Stayed at 196 while i drove and highes it went while at a light 210..So i guess it safe to drive it to the dealer Monday.. I really didnt want a tow truck to tow it....
