Howdy,

I just bought a 2015 SHO, which unbeknownst to me had a coolant leaking into the engine problem. In the very short period of time I did drive it before realizing that fact, I liked it a lot. So I'm going to investigate fixing said leak and or potentially buy a new Engine if this one is now toast.

You more than likely have a water pump gasket that has failed and is now leaking coolant. The water pump is behind the timing components cover.
Tradition around here is to replace the water pump and refresh the timing components and possibly the oil pump while you or your mechanic has the timing cover off to access the water pump.

Thank you for the direction. If I am fortunate enough to be able to save this engine I'm doing all those and changing the PTU fluid because I don't know how long its been neglected and I know I've seen that mentioned a lot on here.
