******* Out Fluids

[Sorny]

My truck never dripped a single thing, untill Saterday that is. I want outside and I noticed puddles under my truck and i thought that maby it was oil or brake fuild, so I waited till today to take it down to my buddys shop. When I got there it was ******* out stuff all over and I smelt antifreez. So im not sure on what it could be but the first thing that popped into my head was cracked block, so anyway I have my fingers crossed that the news come back that its something simple, but with the luck I have been having with that truck it won't be.

What color is the fluid and where is it comming out?

Well if you have a blown head or a cracked block you will find a milk shake on your dip stick, check and make sure your PCV is working if its blocked you can blow out seals. get a compression check done that will tell you alot. and change all the fluids that way you will be able to see when you drain them if theres something not suposed to be.

If it smells like antifreeze then you may have blown a hose or water pump.

From the sounds of it I would bet it is a hose.

Or a Rusted through freeze plug. As asked ....What color is the fluid? Where is it comming from? Is the antifreeze low? Is there water in the oil? Does the truck run OK? Hot? Skipping? No power?

I doubt you have a cracked block, unless the truck has been run very hot, or it froze last night. Do a pressure test on the cooling system, and crank case, also a compression test. This will tell you alot.

I agree dont sound like a blow head gasket or cracked block to me. I would say it is a cooling system leak. Good luck!!

I found the problem, it was a heater hose. The heater hose was in pritty bad shape, it had a fair size hole in it so antifreez got all over everything. But anyway I got it fixed and everything seems to be good now.
