Yo so I have a 2009 sv6 ve commodore and this morning I drove to work and as I turned off my car I got out and there was a lot of antifreeze leaking from under the car right under the drivers side near the wheel after a while of leaving the car off it stops leaking and it also doesn’t leak when the car is running but as soon as I turn it off it comes out again, does anyone know that the problem could be I need to fix it because I’m an apprentice and this is my only way of getting to and from work, greatly appreciated

Also when straight after I turned it off it seemed to make almost like a gurgling sound

The cap will be buggered. $30. Get genuine.

The overflow is in the spot you saw that, so that says coolant coming out, but not going back in. There are overflow points in the reservoir and it will be overfilling from out of the system.

You’ll need to refill the rest of the system after you change the cap.

It's the black cap which sits above the water pump, more or less on the engine itself.
