[QUOTE="David Boer, post: 996083, member: 65415"] Good evening fellow SportTrac'rs! It has been a while since I posted last, but you guys always have great suggestions on items I have issues with. So........here is the dilemma at hand for anyone that may be able to provide any assistance: I came out this morning to find a small amount of antifreeze (About an ounce or two) on the driveway where the truck was parked last night. When I checked the parking lot at work at the end of the day there was nothing there, so I thought perhaps it was my other vehicle. Upon additional inspection, there were small amounts of antifreeze under the truck, but in very weird splash patterns that I couldn't quite explain. It looks as though it may be leaking through the power steering cooler (Does AF/C run through this coil?), but it doesn't seem to make sense where some of the other splashes of antifreeze were. I attached some pics of the location where it is visible. I did check the water outlet up above as I know these are notorious for leaking around the plastic weld, but it was all clean up top. The reservoir was also at the correct level, so I am hoping I caught this before it becomes a bigger issue. The one set of leaks is next to the oil pan, the other is along the front where the lines for the power steering cooler run. Any input as to the potential culprit wouyld be greatly appreciated. I would replace the power steering cooler, but it doesn't seem apparent to me as to why the AF/C would be splashed in the back in this fashion. Thoughts? Thanks in advance for any assistance!
