You should get your Z to a place that can get it up on a lift and find where the leak is. Unless you have overheated your car, it is not very likely it is something different than just a leak or busted hose. A buddy with a 2009 had the upper radiator hose go bad at about 35,000 miles.

Thank you, wise knowledgeable one!

Hi and thanks. I'm doing what Mr. Gurney advised and just rolling with the punches.
