Make sure the petcock is closed. If it's from the engine could be water pump, if it's the bottom of the radiator could be the petcock is open, could be a heater or radiator hose radiator hose, could be a leak in the radiator itself.

Being as to how new the car is I'd hate to say that it would be the radiator, however it very well could be. Or it may just be a radiator hose. Whenever you notice it leaking try to find the source (BE CAREFUL to not get burned). Try looking in from the top at the radiator and hoses then try the bottom. Hopefully it's just a hose because that will cost you approximately $5 -$15 as opposed to a radiator that will be around $360. Good Luck!

are you sure its from the bottom and its not just running down from the top you may have over done it with the coolant.

IF u havint hit anything with it than you most likely have a bad hose or you have a crack in the resevor canister. its to new for it to be a radiator.

are you over your mileage? if not it should be under warranty. 3 year/36000 miles. the dealer should fix it for free.
