Looking for some help from the masses.
Today I noticed a small amout of coolant in the snow-(I live in northern Ohio). The problem is it is located very near the area by the outside frame rail under the front passenger seat. Also due to the snow I have not yet gotten under the truck to see the source. Possible due to heater core leak?? Anyone had something like this?
The weather here has put about 18-20" of snow on the ground and I am a firefighter and usually have to drive thru this so the possiblilty of an ice chunck or something of that sort hitting the bottom of the truck is not unreasonable.
The overflow tank is about normal and as yet I do not have any problems with heat or cooling but having the truck idle for about and hour or two while I fight a fire could pose a problem.
Anyone with helpful advice would be appreciated. Is there anything in this area that has engine coolant in it. I would have thought not but the coolant is definately there and definately leaking, about 5-10 ounces. and this has just started.
