Default 5.0 Supercharger coolant seepage?

From my previous post: I brought my 2013 XJL 5.0l SC in to the Jag dealership in North Houston for a front bumper sensor that had been knocked into the bumper to be reinstalled. They needed to remove the front bumper to epoxy the sensor back in place. While the tech was there, he noticed that my radiator had coolant seepage. I bought the extended warranty from this dealership and the warranty company agreed to replace the radiator. All is good. In the process of replacing the radiator the tech noticed coolant seepage somewhere on the supercharger. At this point the warranty company needed to send an inspector to actually evaluate the supercharger coolant leak before making the call to do the repair/replacement.
I am an car enthusiast and always maintain my vehicles well. This has 36,***miles and always the same dealer maintained.
I will hear the conclusion tomorrow and hopefully a good ending.

Best,

Ray

I am wondering if the "coolant" leak is in the inter-cooler. If so maybe the dealer should inspect that the pressure is being properly regulated throughout the coolant system. Just my 2 cents

Thanks for the input. I'm going to the dealership this morning to put eyes on the supercharger seepage.

The actual issue was the coolant tank on the side of the Supercharger radiator. That was replaced by the extended warranty.
