Why is there coolant leaking near the front bumper of my Swift after long drives?

After highway trips o r city driving in traffic, I find a small puddle of coolant near the front bumper under my 2015 Suzuki Swift. What could be causing this leak — the radiator core, cap, o r hoses?

Coolant near the front bumper area suggests a radiator core, lower hose, o r radiator drain plug leak. On long drives o r in traffic:

High pressure and temperature may cause coolant to escape through small cracks o r loose fittings.

A weak radiator cap can allow coolant to overflow into the overflow bottle o r leak from the cap itself.

In some cases, a leak may also come from the water pump o r thermostat housing, which is near the radiator in the Swift.

What to check:

Inspect the radiator base and hoses for wet spots.

Look for stains on the radiator fan shroud o r lower engine splash tray.

Ensure the radiator fan is working properly—overheating can force coolant out.
