Coolant leak found

refilled the resevoir yesterday after changing out both fuel filters. what i observed while standing on the drivers side facing the resevoir was a drip, drip, drip. it seemed to be on the rear of the resevoir towards the other side. is there a hose coming out that side or maybe a fault in the resevoir?

I would replace it. You're protecting a 15 grand motor.
