The cover also has what appear to be two absorbant pads that I could pull moisture from with paper towels. No drips in the driveway while under the car. Too dark and didnt inspect the driveway when i left this morning. Then, of course, I get the low coolant warning about ten minutes into the car running as I'm on my way to work.

I also don't think it's any coincidence that a jug of coolant fits almost perfectly into the little side cubbyholes in the trunk.
Car is at the dealership, they are replacing the radiator. No clue what caused the leak or where exactly it is. Hoping to be able to get it tomorrow before I leave town.
