Antifreeze leaking
I am trying to isolate an issue with my antifreeze leaking. I own a 2007 XRK. Recent purchase with new water pump, thermostat and flush and fill. I recently had to fill the reservoir with coolant due to the fact I received an overheating indicator. every since I see a puddle underneath and loss maybe a quart of antifreeze. I thought it was over-flow, but I can smell the antifreeze burn after getting out of the car. No steam either. So I am thinking it is not a hose issue. What's my next step?

Welcome.
From discussions here with guys with the R versions. I have never owned/worked on an R to date.
There are hoses, and plastic adaptors, UNDER the Supercharger that fail. It requires the S/Charger removal to do said hoses, and both guys replaced the plastic with Brass. It was stated by them that the plastic bits had failed.
A quicky repost in the XK-XKR (X159) section will get many more answers.
