I went to the dealer last week to get my front camera changed, and while inspecting the vehicule, the saw what seemed to be like a coolant leak on the motor block. Nothing big that would drip on the ground, but still, there are traces of the blue coolant liquid on the block. Repair costs amount to 4000$+ not counting the labor because it seems I would need to change the whole bottom part of the block
( part 292C0-5SA1B).
After speaking to the dealer that sold me the car ( different dealer) he seemed to say that it was highly improbable to have a coolant leak at that spot. and after speaking with some technicians, some believe it is an external leak that might deposit on the motor block. So I got a whole range of different opinions on this... I was wondering if any of you here do have your opinions and experiences with a similar trouble..
Here are some pictures of the leak.

This morning, a week after having cleaned it up good to see how the issue progress:
And here is the part the 1st dealer is considering to replace:
If anyone can help me shed light on this, I would really appreciate before spending lots of money on this issue if the actual problem is something else...
Thanks a lot for your help!
