Coolant... maybe washer fluid but that most likely has nothing to do with the work performed by the shop.

This is Nissan OEM engine coolant color. Coolant temp gauge has a sensor that taps into cooling system so that may be your leak.

You're late to the party. It's been discussed and fixed already.

Its definitely coolant because the 370's use blue coolant from the factory

Look under there and see if it's a hose or a fitting or what? Take picture so we can have a look, and dont drive it or you risk overheating

You're definitely going to want to figure out where it's coming from. I'm guessing it's most likely the fitting the shop installed for the coolant temp gauge.

What year is your Z? I have an 09 and if you overfill the coolant, the pressure will force some coolant out of the overflow tank via a small hose. I believe the overflow was changed in later models though.
