Coolant leak on 2017 Supercharged V6

Yes, there's a couple of plastic coolant pipes which partly go under the supercharger. On the early 5.0 V8 (the 3.0 V6 is essentially the same engine but missing it's back 2 pistons) these were also plastic and have a high failure rate. They were then changed to metal, and later V6 and V8 engines were again fitted with plastic versions, but to a better design which aren't known for splitting, unlike the earlier ones. Commonly known as "the plastic valley coolant pipes". Supercharger has to be removed for full access, or at least lifted.

The leak from the pipes I was mentioning typically floods the engine valley, then no doubt will drips/runs down to the undertrays.
