Default 3.6L Water Pump?

Hey guys,

We recently purchased a 2014 Buick Enclave. Absolutely love it. Went to change the oil today and saw a little dexcool on the ground under the car.

Upon inspection underneath there was a couple of drops on the subframe and I could see a little on the block.

This is my first 3.6L, have had several V8'* and 3800'* (my favorite), so looking for input. I believe this is due to the waterpump, or the seal. Looking up I couldn't really see any trickle down. The cover behind the crank pulley showed a little coolant on one of the bolts, but I believe this to be just from drip down from above. There is no water going through the cover behind the crank pulley is there?

Hoping to get a little input, and possibly get this ordered and swapped out next weekend.

Thank you,

MG

I forgot the 6yr/70K limited Power train coverage with no deductible....the 4yr/50K was the new car bumper to bumper coverage.....

So there is no cost to you if it is a water pump....

Thought I mentioned, but forgot to, car has 75k, so out of warranty. Will be doing the work in my garage.
