I would take lower engine shield off from under car and look for where it is dripping. Try to follow to source.
Obvious checks will be hoses and rad. Add distilled water so you do not waste coolant. Should see.
Most common places are under the intake where the coolant tube is epoxied to the engine. Yeah. Epoxied.
Fix for that is to drill through pipe and fitting, so you can put in a screw to hold the pipe in place.
Update us as you diagnose, so we can learn with you.

I'll remove the tray and check back.

What about the CRC Valve and Turbo cleaner?
I have heard good results from it. Basically, you warm up the car engine, in Panamera case, would disconnect a a line (vacuum or otherwise), that goes into intake (I dont know which one that would be, havent investigated), and then while at 2k rpm, spray the contents of can into the car in short bursts. Then you rev up few times, idle for about a minute, then shut car off for about 1 hr. After that you go drive car for 15 minutes on a highway.
Anyone hear that one work well? Anyone tried that way? it is intended for GDI engines specifically.
