Coolant loss, help required

I have been losing coolant at approx half a litre a day regardless of being used or standing so assumed a leak somewhere, parked it on a dry area (difficult to find in Scotland at the moment) and it is leaking from the drivers side just ahead of the wheel, any ideas chaps/chapesses Thumbs Up 2013 L405 Autobiography Baltic Blue

That 2nd radiator is one of the intercoolers surely?

Is it actually leaking there?, or just dripping from the edge of the under-tray? I would take the tray off and have a look to see where it's actually coming from.

on my L322 it was suspected a EGR leak was causing a slow coolant leak.

Is it definitely coolant and not power steering fluid? if so, could it be this?

Due to package constraints an auxiliary radiator is required to maintain acceptable coolant temperatures under
arduous driving conditions such as high-load and high ambient temperatures. This radiator is located in
the RH wheel arch area, with cooling airflow supplied by a dedicated aperture in the front bumper. The
auxiliary radiator is connected in parallel with the main radiator, with the coolant flow being controlled by the
main engine thermostat."

Just for info on possible leak.
