So the other day I smell coolant when I get out of my truck. I knew my lower radiator hose was on its way out, so I suspected it.

I pop the hood and find coolant on the front engine skid, none on the engine I can see.

Yesterday, I replaced the thermostat and the lower hose. Before I replaced them, there was cool ant dripping off the driver's side of the radiator, at the bottom, at a decent pace, two drips or so a second. After replacing the hose, I filled it back up, rinsed the coolant off everything, and drove it for a while.

Parked it, and looked under it, I couldn't find any leak.

Where there was coolant on the radiator fins earlier, I didn't see any know.

I overfilled the overflow, and on the way to work this morning, it puked some.

And I smell coolant again. I don't know if I am still leaking or not.

Anyone with similar experience? I changed the timing belt at 90k without changing the water pump cause I am an idiot and like to do work twice. I can't find any coolant at the timing weep hole, but I don;t know if I am looking at it right, however, the coolant is distinctly coming from the radiator.

Thanks for your help,

Daniel

Look around the water pump thats where mine was leaking. You can also pressure test the system you see if there's a leak, and help you track it down.

Either get a pressure testor or go to a shop with one and pressure test the system. Its much easyer to pinpoint any leaks when you arent having to avoid spinning fan blades and hot parts.
