Ok so this has been goin on for a little while now. Only once in a blue but this morning was more noticeable. I get to my truck to find an antifreeze puddle anywhere from 3" - 10" in diameter. For some reason it only happens in the morning. This morning was a constant drip without having the engine started yet. When it is running, nothing appears out of the ordinary.

The reservoir is not overfilled and not empty. All the hoses are tight. No visible damage. My truck is not overheating but im still rollin w a spare radiator.

WTF

if you can, get a cooling system pressure tester. Its a specialty tool but it makes diaging cooling system leaks nice and easy. I believe harbor freight sells them as well as atd, snappy, matco... etc...

You pop off your radiator cap and put this thing on, then pump up the pressure of the cooling system. This will let you look and listen for leaks, without having the thing running and hot. It also allows you to watch the pressure drop.

After pressurizing it its a matter of watching and hunting around to try to find where the leak is.

Depending on where you are you can borrow mine if you'd like.. I'd link you to a couple but they block amazon and stuff here at my office..
