Default 2015 coolant leak

Had my 15 out today and the temp light came on and reduce to idle message, parked and the temp went back down like there was air in the coolant system. Got the car home and looked and saw it was wet on the lower corner of the radiator and the small coolant hose to the radiator looked wet passed the clamp. Is this becoming a pretty common issue with these c7's?? Thanks in advance!!

Had my radiator replaced under warranty a couple of months ago. Notice a small puddle under driver side of radiator after parking for a while. Turned out the driver side plastic end cap was separating from the core. Had this been out of warranty, a DeWitts would have gone in instead of a stocker.
