We just had $700 annual service done on our AH ( 2 months ago ) and today I noticed big pothole of coolant under the AH bay area!
In our Newell 2001 we have model 431 XE/12 system.

I looked under and noticed coolant dripping around exhaust pipe area. It seems to be dripping from a large pipe under the AH area. Also noticed some coolant standing in the metal pan right under mixer valve and burner area. I cannot locate the exact leak around this area.

Pressure release coolant overflow fill cap was replaced & hose to the expansion cap is intact and full of fluid.

I checked engine coolant/return/cold inlet/hot inlet and all the areas are dry.

We are staying in park near Ventura, CA and not sure what to do next.

I have not checked the coolant level since AH was still hot but will check in the morning. Does anyone provide any recommendations or does anyone have a good AH mechanic in the Ventura area?
