Hey All!

I have a 2014 stingray lt3... it's only about 75 degrees outside and my car started saying engine was over heating and to idle it. It's shut off now but very light pink fluid is leaking and quite a bit of it. Not much of a smell. I'm about 20 minutes from home.

Engine coolant??? Am I able to drive it home? If it will start....

But again if you drive it make sure coolant is full and keep a eye on the temp gauge. Look and see if you can find were it is coming from like a hose water pump r what. The hose has been a PITA the one from the rad going to the pass side of the motor. look at the clamps...

Thanks for the advice and help. Under warranty so going to have it towed and fixed. Hopefully it's quick and I'm back on the road Tuesday! Finally got some good weather
