Looked like it was comming out on top of the motor somewhere, lucky we send the cars back to dealers via tow truck, and yeh had all white dots everywhere under the bonnet, and coolant that wasnt also dried up.

I didn't notice it until it had dried (white). Green coolant on Envi paint isn't that obvious.I believe that the service technician LOL unscrewed the reserviour cap when the engine was still too hot
