Common coolant leak?
I got home last night and I popped my hood to let it cool faster so i could clean up a bit. Well, i heard a kind of sizzling noise towards the front passenger side of the engine bay. I investigated and found there was coolant on splash guard but couldnt find where it was coming from. Well i got to work this morning popped the hood and the same thing. This time there's also a noticeable loss in my coolant tank. I've lost probably about 1/4 of the coolant. Anyone know if there are any common places that are leaking? Also if i had to take it in it should be covered by the warranty right? I have 5k miles and a few mods... intake exhaust fmic and pipes, but those should have nothing to do with the radiator right?

The dealer where I bought My car dont accept any mods not even a dam drop in filter. They said any thing done to the evo would void it. So if I have to take mine in for work I will have to remove the parts first

Well, im not even sure if it's coolant. I think it is but not 100%. what's the fluid container thats behind the coolant container on the left side of the engine bay? The leak is coming from the bottom half of the car in between the engine and the radiator a little ways in front of the pulleys. I havent been able to pull off the splash guard to look at it yet but any ideas? What's that other fluid for?
