What causes coolant to ooze out of head gasket?
Check the max and min levels on the reservoir and adjust the level of coolant accordingly. when the coolant from the radiator expands upon heating the excess flows into the reservoir and if the reservoir already had excess it would try to ooze out of the reservoir. As it is almost a new car I definitely don’t think its about the head gasket.
