I noticed a fluid puddle under the front of my truck when I came out of my office today. After checking where I parked overnight at the house, I found a small puddle there also. Looked around and saw evidence to indicate the fluid is coming out from in front of the passenger/front wheel behind the plastic. The fluid color is a blue / teal. No warnings yet...
I am waiting on service to follow-up. 800 Service forwarded the issue to ATL for triaging and they are supposed to reach out to me to schedule a SC appointment if it should not wait for the first available mobile over a month out.
I'll update when I get more info back from the SC.
Anyone had similar experience?

Update 1/22/25 - Still no response from ATL on the ticket, still waiting on a review. I pulled the plastic back and peeked up inside the wheel well, it appears it may be associated with the reservoir in the below image. What is this holding? It is not washer fluid, my fluid is orange...this is not.
Update 1/23/25 - Called 800 service for an update today, he was nice enough to put me on hold and check-in with ATL SC, they said oh yes we need to have it towed to the SC so we can diagnose and get a repair plan. Frustrating I had to wait 2 days for them to say yes it needs to come to SC.
Update 1/28/25 - Called 800 service to get a check-in from ATL SC; service advisor in ATL let me know they had parts ordered, expected next day and the repair should be completed the next day.
Update 1/29/25 - ATL service advisor was messaging me via the appointment section of the app throughout the day with updates. I had mentioned I had a 2hr drive to get to ATL to pickup the vehicle and needed to know ASAP come afternoon time if the vehicle was going to be completed so I could pickup. Arrived at 645pm and picked up my R1T, there were some techs still working and were very nice, even let me in to use the restroom in the customer area! Overall, very positive experience from the ATL service center!
Sidebar, I almost didnt make it home with the truck...a truck ended up (accidentally) pulling a PIT maneuver on a car in front of me....my truck footage here: DriveStream Footage
Here is the invoice for the service center work with details...
