Default Pink Fluid

Good evening and many apologies if this has been asked before.

I've got the C7, Z51. It has less than 250 miles.

Recently, I've been noticing a small puddle of pink fluid on the garage floor. It is underneath the radiator and on the driver's side. Just wondering if anyone had any thoughts about what may be causing this.

Thanks so much in advance.

The Dexcool coolant is pinkish.

Check the overflow tank and hose, driver's side fender. It may be too full or there may be another issue.

I had the same issue with my C7 (VIN 00022) when I first brought it home in October. It is just an overfill and will stop leaking once the car has been driven.
