New here!

My 2023 Born has a coolant leak, It takes about 2 weeks to go from full to the level that the warning comes on. This is just below the min marked on the tank. You can see the drip underneath and where a small puddle forms. Has anyone had experience of this? Is it perhaps the symptom of the coolant pump problem that was certainly prevalent in 2023 when we took delivery (which was delayed while they stole one from another Born IIRC)? The drip is coming vertically from the area just below where the tank is or just a bit further back. Looking down and feeling around doesn't reveal what is leaking.

Of course there's a million week waiting list to get it into a dealer with a courtesy car for it to be looked at. It doesn't seem to be getting worse and I am contemplating just topping up until it needs to go in for its service in May time. The dealer is a right old trek away which is a real pain from a logistics pov. I am nervous though in case it gets worse on a journey.

I have the same issue just this week the warning has reappeared. It takes about a month to get to a warning light from having been topped up. Last time it happened the dealership said to book it in if it happened again… I will repost after I visit the dealer again and see what they do about it.,,

There was a recall for the coolant pump. Mine was done before delivery. Maybe check the VIN for recall?
