I noticed coolant leaking out of the vehicle, pooling underneath.

I took it to the dealership where I bought it, they told me what was wrong, and I had them fix it.

This is apparently a common issue on this model, the poorly designed plastic intake manifold fails, allowing coolant to not only leak out, but also to leak into the oil system.

The dealership tried to screw me, saying that gaskets were not covered. However, I forced them to fix the issue by exposing the fact that the intake manifold had cracked, causing the gasket to fail. It was obvious when I looked at it, but until then they had lied and said the manifold gasket was fine. I don't know if they would have tried talking me into proactively replacing the "working" manifold gasket, or done so discreetly and only charged me for the gasket (parts were only $200, with labor making up $700).
