Did all the LGM from mods for cooling on my 2015 Z06 including radiator and new heat exchangers.
yesterday noticed my garage a little puddle. Cleaned it and took it out rode around a while. Nothing when I got back but after sitting overnight look what showed up again.
It’s only on passenger side and small but normally I would jump in and check challenge is getting it all apart to even do that.
is this normal overflow or time to go to dealer and tear off whole front end and tighten something installer didn’t do right? Anyone know good aftermarket shop it Hilton Head Savannah area in case? Thanks
I got back from a beer run and I also saw a puddle under the right side. I figured out it was condensation over flow from my AC. I tasted it and it wasn't oil or coolant. It was hot out and I was running the AC full blast because I had some ice cream in the car I didn't want to melt. If it's oil or coolant, it needs to be fixed. No telling if and when it will get worse.
Dexcool should be orange. How full is your coolant tank? If overfilled, you might get some overflow. A new pressure cap is fairly inexpensive if your level is OK and you think the leak is coolant.
If the leak is near where you show in the first pic at the front of the car, that's either a line or more likely the radiator. There's really nothing else in that area. Since you appear to have Stage 2 aero, assuming it's factory and you have the undertray, there's always a possibility it's leaking from the front of the engine and then pooling until it runs out the bottom. Pretty simple check to look for leaks at the front of the engine
Is it worth fixing? Leaks don't get better with time and if it's the radiator and it fails completely on the road your only option is a flat bed.
Of course brand new radiator and heat exchangers etc from LGM kit installed a few months ago and of course two week to first track event in it. Bringing it to dealer tmrw as don’t have a lift to get where I need to view or fix

With a little luck, just a loose line on the cooler
I had the same little puddle after my radiator change. I guess some coolant leaked whenever I removed the upper rad hose from the radiator and dripped down onto the plastic part that cover the bottom of the car. I saw drips on the floor and saw that where it was coming from. Wasn't a leak just the residual coolant that spilled onto that plastic piece and dripped onto the floor. Hopefully its the same issue for you.

ends out it’s a fitting on radiator that is tight but just doesn’t 100 percent seal so going to use some teflon wrap and then see if issue solved
If it’s the side radiators.. don’t put teflon tape on them. Those are flared connections and seal without tape…
this leak is directly infront of your tires. Not somewhere you want slippery coolant to go. Also, you’ll slowly drain your fluid and purging out the air suuucks. Take it back to whoever put in the LG kit and make them fix it.
Small leak worth fixing?
