Oh No...

05 CTT just clocked 100K today! To welcome that I received a "Check coolant level" and "All-Wheel Drive Faulty" light! I pulled over and I get this pink liquid coming from the bottom right bank of the belly. Dripping slowly from the belly plastic cover. Drove the car for years and this is the first major excessive leak. What could it be?

My extended warranty will run out at 100,500K!
Thanks in advanced.

Sounds like your plastic coolant pipes blew. Hopefully you were able to shut it down before any major damage. Unfortunately, there can be collateral damage when the pipes blow. It's not uncommon for the starter to fail (it's in the engine valley with the pipes) and for damage to the torque converter seal in the transmission.

Good luck! I hope it didn't do too much damage!

+1... This is common preventative maintenance for the 955. Please do not drive it until you get it checked out and repaired. Good luck!
