I've got a coolant leak somewhere near passenger side bottom radiator. Doesn't appear to be the reservoir/hoses because the leak is down low but I can't see from where.
Before I go in does anybody know if the CPO covers this?

I had a coolant leak once that was a result of a weathered hose and it was covered by CPO. Not sure if that helps any but I would venture to say that you should be covered.

a month after owning my car.. the reservoir hose that sits above the radiator had a crack.. because it sits on the front of the car.. the ind blows it all over the place and seem to be lower then it actually is.. have you replaced that plastic hose that sits above the radiator?

That said, sorry to say, if the leak is a hose it is NOT covered.

Ah, thanks. Looks like the "cooling system" is covered. I wasn't too worried about paying for a hose but if there was something wrong with the radiator...

Might be the radiator itself. Just replaced mine @ 79k.
I had a VERY small radiator leak around one of the welds and noticed I was losing half of what was in the evap tank every 2-3 months.
