My Z starts to leak some sort of blue ish liquid. Please help

And get that coolant up before you find all of the local wildlife dead in your garage lol. Spilled coolant is no joke

There is a law in Ontario. Any work done on your car has a 90 day warranty and the shop is responsible for the work they do on your car within that time frame.

Open your hood, check where the coolant level is at, if it is passed full, then your car is leaking fluid via a small hose. Take it back, tell them to drain it for you.

Or you could have a loose fitting, again, they should fix it for you. Give them a call Monday, talk to them.

Sounds to me like you have a very good shop. Yeah, they made a mistake but they owned up to it and went the extra mile to make things right. That's a keeper in my book.

Edit (for BettyZ): As others have mentioned, it's a good idea to become very familiar with your car - eg, what does a normal engine bay look like. The FSM is a valuable reference for learning the Z.

This is why they received all the good reviews... Even though they made a mistake, like mentioned before, they owned up to it and fixed it. That definitely deserves a good review from you.

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.
