Sounds like its got to be coolant... level is a bit low, car is not running hot, nothing really on the floor. Battery is in front on this model. Anyone have experience with slow leak failure...in any other brand, I'd suspect water pump.
Dealer trip coming....I've only put 5K miles on it since buying it Aug 2013.

I had a similar but lesser coolant leak at another hose connection that is built just like that. It was 100% covered by CPO if you have it.

To close this thread out for future reference:
Took it to the dealer, it was a coolant leak from seals and plastic tube near the thermostat. They said they dropped the engine and removed the exhaust to reach it. Replaced the plastic tube and about 1/2 dozen seals, but not water pump or thermostat (claimed they are not at risk). 100% covered under my CPO package, though I did a minor oil service and brake fluid change, so they got me for $500 on that visit.
I did see other discussion on rennlist about that plastic tube breaking.....I asked dealer service rep, who claimed the newer ones are better and should not repeat the problem. We shall see.....
