Default antifreeze leaking from supercharger system

I recently purchased an C6 LS2 convertible with an MP112 maggie supercharger.
Wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem:
I discovered a leak in the supercharger cooling system when I filled the reservoir. After filling a short time later I see a puddle beneath the car almost directly beneath where the coolant reservoir for the supercharger is located (its not the reservoir I checked that). I plan on doing a damper swap in the next month or so and will get a better look at the SC coolant system then, but in the mean time just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and can offer any insight as to where the leak might be?

If nothing else you can add coolant dye and find the leak with a UV light.

Default coolant leak

Thats a good idea thnx. An FYI the coolant in the supercharger is the green stuff, whereas dexcool (orange stuff) is used in the cars cooling system, this also helps in leak detection as well.
