I notice a small amount of radiator fluid under the truck this morning, it's below the starter and infact it is running down past the outside of the starter like where the starter meets the bellhousing. My question is where could it be comming from? It almost looks like it's from the head gasket, the freeze plugs are dry and I don't see any hoses or clamps in that area. I checked the oil and there are no signs of water in the oil.

I had the same issue pop up this Thanksgiving weekend. My service Rep. is a friend of mine. I will be contacting him today and I'll let you know what he says.:cool:

It's been awhile since I've been back, I found the small red hose under the left side of the turbo was leaking from a factory style clamp. It took me about 30min to get a hose clamp on with one hand and that stopped the leak.

Is this a leak that looks like from underneath a rear main? I have a small leak that is coming down and leaking down the face of the oil pan.

I have an '06 with 20,000 on it.
