Default 2026 Z06 Coolant Leak

I just bought a brand new 2026 Z06. It only has 160 miles on it as of today. I noticed a coolant leak on the plastic pan that covers the bottom of the engine. It is the plastic pan with the cut outs for the oil pan drain and sump drain. I am going to lift the car up in the morning with the pan removed. I know that there is a bulletin (24-NA-177) relating to coolant leaks on the bleed tube and/or inlet hose. Does anyone know if this bulletin applies to a 2026? Anyone else have coolant leak issues?

Hopefully a clamp. Seen that around here several times. Best of luck. No matter what it's a car and it'll get fixed!

I would assume its just a leaky line or a clamp somewhere in the system.

Mine was a clamp that was not attached to spec. 2025 Z06. Easy fix at the dealership. (I am lucky, I have a great corvette centric dealership)
