Will definitely watch for that!
BTW, what was your build date, and how many miles on it?

Did you notice the leak because it was dripping or just when you had it in the air?

I had the same issue on my 2011. Pulled out of the driveway and noticed small drops of coolant on the garage floor. Took it to the dealer and they confirmed that it was a coolant leak.

The repaired it straight away and haven't had a problem since.

This exact thing happened to me over a year ago. It was leaking at 150 miles. They fixed it in a couple of hours. There was no further problem following repair.

Had this happen to our car this past summer. We had it fixed under service bulletin- took 2.5 hours and seems fine now. We had 12,500 miles on it- took delivery on 9/4/09.

I just got my car back from my second coolant leak, a separate one from the TSB above... Had that one repaired 4 weeks ago.

This time, a hose on the backside of the engine had ruptured, along with the associated connector. The parts had to be overnighted and all appears to be well a day later.

Would I still qualify for this repair if a supercharger was installed to my car?

This happened to me the weekend I bought my car. Hadn't had it for a week and had to take in my car to have it checked and fixed. It ended up taking a full week to get a part because it was bordered due to limited quantities of hose being being available but the dealership gave me full luxury service cause of the situation and timing of problem. They even got me an HHR the first two days then upgraded me to a Corvette to rent because of the wait from enterprise next door. It sucked but was cool at the same time time, it was I guess very bitter sweet.
