Ya still dripping coolant to. Only seen two drops on the cardboard. Maybe leftover but idk I rinsed it than when I dabbed it on my tongue it shouldn’t have been so concentrated and bitter. I was expecting it to be watered down who knows. At this point I’ll keep a eye on it

those transmission line brackets can generally be tweaked a little if necessary
Yeah, and I don’t see any leaking from the lines. All I see is the fluids leaking from that tray under the radiator, and I never
Dried or rinsed that out after emptying the fluid from the radiator, until I went to lightly spray it out earlier… now I’m here.

Well, remember, I think they’re still cooling in the block right I never drained the block
Plus the lines to the back of the truck and both heater cores. That’s why I said 3 gallons and not the 4 3/4 the system holds duh. :p Sounds like you got it licked. :emotions33:

Doesn't look a lot like coolant to me, but you could pressure test the system to see if it's actually losing pressure.

The drip on the cardboard looks like transmission fluid, or maybe weak Dexcool.
