coolant leak?

Hi, I just purchased a used 2015 PCX. I noticed the coolant level was low when looking at the coolant reservoir. I opened the top, looked down inside and did not see any coolant. I stuck a screwdriver down in there and it came out dry. I topped it off with maybe 2 oz of coolant. I didn't measure it, but it didn't take very much before it was up to level. When I say, "level" I mean slightly above the low level mark on the reservoir. It immediately leaked out a few drops. I wiped it off, did not start the scooter. Checked it the next day and a few more drops were on my garage floor. Is there an overflow tube on the reservoir? Is it possible it came from there? I'm going to take the lower plastic off so I can get a better look, but I was just wondering what everyone's thoughts were on this.

Thanks,
Dana

Some owners have had the reservoir tank crack and leak coolant.
