Default 2012 traverse overheating

my 2012 Traverse overheated and the dash warning said "Turn off AC." And the beeper sounded. When we got pulled over, antifreeze was dripping from the front of the motor, best we could tell. We filled the overflow back up and it hasn't leaked out since. It cooled off and we ran it home with no overheating. It sat 24 hours and we drove it again and it heated up a little and cooled back down. Any ideas?

Sound like a water pump It may still have warranty. filling the bottle won't fill an excessively low cooling system. When it is cold the radiator can be filled under the plastic panel between the headlight under the hood.
