Little coolant leak coming off the ride plate

[silverrules]

Yesterday after the ride on my 2015 GTX IS 260 I noticed coolant leak coming off the ride plate. Not much but enough for me to see it. I tighten the drain plug which was loose a little and tighten the other four screws holding the ride plate to the body. This morning I noticed it is no longer leaking.
Q: Is there suppose to be coolant in the ride plate or do I have a leak somewhere? Don't see coolant in the hull area but its so cramped in there.
Q:Is this going to be a ongoing issue every time after riding? Dealer about 1 hr away each way.

Thanks

The ride plate is the "Radiator" for the ski. So yes, the coolant runs through the ride plate and therefore there is coolant in it. Hoses and drain screws are the normal leak areas. You probably solved the issue.

+1 on what CoastieJoe said.

Ride plate is a giant heat exchanger cooled by the water the boat is sitting in.
