Coolant Leak!
Went out to the shop yesterday only to find a small puddle of anti-freeze under my new pride and joy  . Needless to say with all of 575 miles I was not amused. I checked the level and found it to be ok, so I ran it until hot then checked underneath.
Located a steady trickle coming from the block heater. It is just behind the oil filter, under the exhaust manifold. Put a wrench on it and found it to be slightly more than finger tight.  I called the service mgr. at the dealership and got a torque spec. Tightened it up, cleaned everything up, (made a mess of the right side of the motor) and it's staying dry. Life is once again good. 
Thought I would post this in case they missed tightening more than one!
