Default Coolant Leak? Need help





so I recently purchased a 07 z with 46K miles.

After 200 miles or so. I notice the coolant is leaking to the driver side as I can see it on my splash guard. Well it was on the top right hand of the Radiator as well. I can't seem to find the leak from the top. But after the car is warm. I fill the resivor up to max.
any one know how I can find out where this coming from?

Pics shown. The car does not overheat! There was once where I found the resivor empty. Not even at the minimum line. Does overfilling at hot or fill to max cause it to spill out ?

Looks like the end tank seal. Clean it off really well then drive until the coolant is at normal temp. If it's wet again, you need a new radiator.

Clean everything off.
Rent a pressure tester.
Fix what's leaking.
