08 VRSCDX: Coolant leak ? or draining excess as intended?

I have had my NRS for 2 months now... after the first two weeks i left it idling for 10-15 minutes and i have to admit i shouldnt have done that as it was a warmer day. Then i switched it off. After switching off i found coolant draining on the left side slowly. Luckily was at the gas station told the mechanic to check he had no clue. so i got another bottle and and topped up so i could get home safely. After that rode another 1000 miles since the bike was running fine, despite the refill, there was no leak to be found.

This Sunday i was out on a 140 mile ride. at the middle point rest point when i reached the parking .. it was hot but bike and radiator fans etc seemed to be working as intended... i went in and returned in 1 hour to find a little puddle around the same area as before next to the stand.

I rode back 70 miles "set power vision to display coolant/Engine temps" which remained below 200F (i think radiator fans kick in at 209F )

do i have a leak? bike is not heating up but seems to drain come coolant when it gets too hot.. runs fine even after.. am i filling too much coolant ?
