Coolant Leak and Owner Fail
TL;DR
DC was single digits at 5AM (my drive time.) Cut a piece of cardboard to fit between front bumper and A/C "radiator." Also, removed/replace a bunch of coolant with new 50/50. Much better and no leak in the AM.

You are not alone. I am a risk taker and I often will add water to the coolant instead of opening the tight wallet for the overpriced OEM precious liquid.
I have a pretty good idea where the edge of the envelop is however.
