Default Brand new bike coolant leak. Help!

I have a brand new Ninja 250r. I turned it on and put the choke on to warm it up and left it running for about 15 minutes. When i came out to ride it there was coolant leaking out of a hose on the bottom of the bike. I dont know what to do now. Is this normal? Do i need to add more coolant? This is my first bike. Please help!!

yes, and do not let your ride "warm up" in 15 minutes time.
