Coolant flowing out of resovior after parking. Hissing/bubbling sounds. Puddle.

Note: bolded a few of the key facts to make the reading easier.

So we just got back from a short (6 mile) round trip to Sam's Club and back. I parked, started unloading some of the things we got, and I heard a hissing and bubbling sound. I thought it was the drain in the floor under the X, so I didn't think much of it. After a few minutes of this happening as I was unloading stuff, I looked under the vehicle and sure enough, a pretty rapid dripping of fluid was coming out. I put my hand near it to get a sense of the temperature and it didn't seem hot, nor was it steaming. I put my fingers in it, and it was a blueish-clear color. It felt oily, or rather, not water-like.

The location was the drivers side front, right behind the wheel. I popped the hood open and saw some steam coming from under, what I believe is, the coolant reservoir on the drivers side. It was coming from under the black tank with the cap that says "do not open when hot" (or something along those lines) so that leads me to believe it's the coolant reservoir?...oh and the hose going from that to the radiator was a good tell.

Anyway, I checked iDrive and no warnings popped up. I also turned everything off an started the engine back up, started with no warnings. I let it run for only about 10 seconds, and then shut it off.

I am under CPO, so I hope this is covered. It sucks, I had just had it in for parking break malfunction service, and an oil change, about a month ago. Oh well.

Can anyone verify my thoughts/findings? I tried to take a few photos, but had limited light and a small flashlight, so I hope they help.
