996 C2 Tip leaking radiator fluid

I was at the track and pulled a 360 I pulled over and was told it was radiator fluid. It was all over the bumper and under the car. I pulled the underbody panels off and there is a leak about 1.5-2' in front of the rear axel. I can see the big silver radiator pipes going backand forth to the engine. Where the leak is the are some big black supports that are shielding the connection. I haven't jacked the car up high enough yet to get right under the leak, but reaching up there I can feel some type of clamp. Has anyone had this happen to them or heard of this. What a pain. Thanks.

every day is infamous around these parts
Can you actually see the cause of the leak? It's very common for the leak to come from one place and actually drip somewhere else. Two common failures in the rear are the coolant tank and the cap for the tank.

Good luck!!
