fluid leak

I just uncovered my 2011 TTS from winter storage and discovered a very small puddle (3 sq. in.) of pink coolant fluid on the floor. I appears to be located just under the coolant level indicator. The car has just 4300 mi. I'm not aware of any overboard drain and think this is some kind of leak. Can anyone please confirm.

Sounds like a very small leak from somewhere that's likely very hard to see. I'd take it to the dealer for inspection and warranty repair.

It's not uncommon for the 997 turbo to leak from the radiators up front and or small hoses in the rear. I know you've not driven your vehicle over the winter but usually a first sign, even before fluid shows up, is a faint coolant smell when the car warms up and or after a drive and you pull into the garage.

Typically not a big deal when covered under warranty...just the pain of having to take it in.

Thanks for the reply PSTT07, I need to schedule oil change with dealer and will have it checked.
