As always when you are trying to do cool shit to your truck, the Hoe inevitably laughs at you with a truck issues that needs to be fixed and pulls you away from the mods.

AS of right now I have a leak. I am about 80% sure its antifreeze. Its leaking from the back of the engine compartment onto the skid-plate. There is still fluid in the reservoir, but it is leaking a lot. I haven't been able to locate the source of the leak yet. Luckily I have a work vehicle so the Hoe is parked right now.

Anybody had this issue?

From your picture it looks to be right under the water pump.

I checked there already. That seams good. I might take the skid plate off tomorrow at lunch to see if I can get a better view. Seems to be coming from closer to the firewall.

I search the forum and seems like people where having the same issue it’s either some quick disconnects or hose connections having to do with the rear ac/heat

So after going to the Transmission shop Saturday morning (of course the leaked wasn't leaking while I was there), we were able to cancel out any tranny leaks. We were able to identify that the leak had a few places to monitor.

I went to my shop today, turns out the water pump was the culprit of the leak!! I'm also getting some other things fixed while its there.

-Water Pump
-2 Belt tensioners (get rid of the awful squeal)
-New belts
-New Intermediate Steering Shaft

Glad to get this small stuff taken care of
