Greetings from Tallula Illinois USA

I have a 2015 Hatchback LTZ 1.4 turbo. 59K miles on it. It over heats once in a blue moon. Maybe it has caught COVID 19 and is running a fever. The transmission is seeping, but doesn't drip on the garage floor yet. Does anyone else have that problem. Hope to learn more about maintaining this little hot rod.

Just to let you know I'm 64 years old. So act accordingly. And I strongly recommend getting vaccinated. And vaccinate your car too.

Welcome I got the Johnson and Johnson .....my leg cramped up like heck and I got the shakes with fever but yes I'm vaccinated lol .....59 k miles that's low for 2015 I have a 13 with 42k miles as far as the blue moon overheat no I don't have that but I do know there are factory warranty if the water pump leaks that was a factory pump seal problem not saying thats your problem although if it ever does call local Chevy also for the valve cover pcv system that's warranty as well just so you know . Overheating is not a light issue with a sonic since it don't have a water temp gauge it has a light that comes on and if it comes on there's definitely something going on there .
I would check coolant level in the bottle/ resavoir it's orange there's a arrow to full mark , turn on your AC and see / listen look if you can if the engine fan comes on it's supposed to come on if it don't that's not good also just look around for wet orange or coolant smell around hoses etc it could be coolant dripping and not trans fluid don't open anything hot or touch anything hot on the motor .
Could be the upper water neck cracked that happens around this many miles it's plastic like most of it under the hood ,
Parts for the car are cheap and readily available so you will be ok ....
