There were several oily pools the size of a half dollar on the right side of the engine, just in front of the right rear wheel.

The majority of the pool was below the engine and draining to the back of the car, below the engine.

Love the car, I'm craving a mountain drive myself now.

We have had some wet around here. I drove the car home from Denver after purchase in a downpour, so that might be possible.

The only thing is that the coolant reservoir shows that it is low. I cannot remember if it was low before today.

top it off and monitor it. just go through the procedures on the pelican parts website to purge any air from the cooling system, had a similar incident a few thousand miles back and could not duplicate it. monitor it and as a added safety measure carry a few gallonsof water in the trunk just in case.
