I recently did the leak check dance.
The fill bottle at license plate door is not under pressure. I would
think it's uncommon for that part to leak.
The expansion bottle is under pressure. It can develop a leak at its'
seam, at coolant level
sensor, hose to fill bottle. Not sure if a leak at the blue cap is possible.
