Coolant... maybe washer fluid but that most likely has nothing to do with the work performed by the shop.

Its definitely coolant because the 370's use blue coolant from the factory

Look under there and see if it's a hose or a fitting or what? Take picture so we can have a look, and dont drive it or you risk overheating

You're definitely going to want to figure out where it's coming from. I'm guessing it's most likely the fitting the shop installed for the coolant temp gauge.

What year is your Z? I have an 09 and if you overfill the coolant, the pressure will force some coolant out of the overflow tank via a small hose. I believe the overflow was changed in later models though.

Try to get the shop to tow it for you since its technically there fault.
Worth a shot

Make the shop pay for a tow. Most insurances will do it free - get the shop to reimburse you and pocket the money.

Or you could check the coolant level and possibly limp the car back to the shop. I would be hesitant to do this though unless the shop is nearby.

Or you could prevent an obviously incompetent shop from doing further damage by locating the leak and fixing it yourself.

From what I can tell, the overflow was redesigned in 2013, so you have the latest system. Unfortunately I dont know if this system is designed to bleed off excess coolant. I'm sure someone else in here can answer this.
