Noticed my coolant was low the other day, topped it up and figured nothing of it. Today I noticed a couple pink drips in the snow so I crawled under and found this, should be covered under my extended warranty. Just gotta find time to bring it to the nearest dealer 3 hours away.

I found my trucks coolant was barely visible couple weeks ago. I put some in just in case. I wonder if I am having the same problem.

I’ve smelled coolant from the radiator area since my truck was new. Could never track down a leak but from time to time my coolant does need a slight top up. Wonder if I’m experiencing the same issue. 2020
I may try and take a closer look prior to visiting the dealer to see what the issue is, hoping for some warmer weather to do so.
I had my charge air cooler replaced under warranty a few months back, hopefully they didn’t cause the radiator leak.

Finally got to the dealer to have this looked at, tech says there is a leak from the bottom of the radiator when the system is pressurized. Being replaced under warranty when the parts arrive.
Losing roughly .5 litres every 2 weeks.

Can you see the leak?
Not without removing the rad fan. There is coolant visible under the rad area dripping from a plastic shroud tho.
