2015 Golf TDI coolant reservoir was a bit low. Poked around under the hood and found a leaking hose.
Normally that wouldn't be a big deal, but both ends of the hose are leaking. To me that suggests a possible problem with the hose material itself, rather than a simple leak.
The hose appears to be installed as far as it goes on the hose barbs, and the clamps are in place and appear to be positioned properly. Again, this suggests the hose material itself rather than an installation issue.
We'll probably just get this fixed under warranty.
Anyway, here are the photos. (The area we're looking at is to the left of the brake booster if you're facing the firewall)
This end is closer to the firewall

This is the other end of the hose
