Default Coolant Leak :( could use some help

So today I was driving and my supercharger turned off (like it would if the pump died). I got back to my office popped the hood, and found my bottom engine pan was damp. I thought that was odd, so I opened the supercharger isolation valves and fluid came pouring out onto the pan.

I opened the wheel well panel thinking the supercharger pump was leaking, but I saw the dripping was coming from behind the pump by the radiator.

I started the car again and it leaked again. I closed the isolation valves, started the car, and no immediate leak.

I noticed a puddle under my car at work a few days ago, but it wasn't my regular spot so I didn't think anything of it. I now know that the puddle was from my car.

The car has not been overheating what so ever, so I feel it has to be isolated to the supercharger coolant system.

Any ideas? Am I OK to close the valves to the isolation kit to limp it home? (2 miles)

Thought it might be the heat exchanger connections but they are dry, guess it's something in the radiator

Turns out the heat exchanger cracked

not really sure how, a few people have said it got too hot, but our temps here in Vegas have been the coolest all year??

Well time for a SuperCooler!

Youll really love the additional cooling in the heat you guyz have to deal with, was there this summer at 113+. Woody Enjoy
