As i was dropping my passengers off just now for dinner i smelled that awful "uh oh " smell . I hop out and sure enough the underneath of my truck is SOAKED in anti freeze . Seemed most of it was coming from the passenger side . I was looking around under there and couldn't place exactly where it was coming from . Ate dinner for about an hour and drove home about 15 miles . The temp gauge didn't go above normal on the way home and when i got home the truck was dry ?!?!?!? The fluid level is where it should be in the overflow tank and like i said , the truck is dry underneath . Any ideas guys ?? Was it just a freak thing if that's possible ? Upon further inspection i noticed the front of my bumper had a film of anti freeze on it . There wasn't anyone in front of me on the way to dinner so that's why i think it was my truck . Also like i said , my truck was soaked and dripping with orange antifreeze when i parked . I hope this is nothing major , i'm leaving on a 2500 mile trip with 8000lbs of camper in tow in a day and a half and don't need any problems out on the road . Any ideas or help is greatly appreciated guys , Thanks

Try a pressure test on the cooling system.

I noticed my truck had a leak where the resivor tank comes back into the radiator. DC didn't put a clamp or anything on it. I still have the factory air box so I noticed a white calcium buildup and it was wet. The rubber line comes back into the radiator where the Radiator cap is. Hope this helps. No need for alot of pressure. I just put a good size tie strap on it and whala. No leak.

Well just went out for a 30 min ride and hammered the truck . Couldn't get the temp gauge past 205 which is normal for this truck . Still dry as a bone under there Maybe it was someone in front of me at some point but man , that was a lot of fluid under there . I'm talking dripping and soaking wet ! Right now you couldn't tell anything happen ???? Maybe i'm just being paranoid ? Really don't need any problems on the road , its a loooong way to Arizona LoL Thanks guys for helping out

Hey spooler, I noticed the same thing on my truck, no clamp or anything on it! It's just sitting on there?????? I put a small clamp on it, and no leak now. DC must have forgot about this part or was to cheap to put it on there!?!?!?

Mine didn't have a clamp on the overflow hose either. I put a tie wrap on it and it hasn't weeped since.
