Starting to sound like a broken record with these leaks. This one is with the coolant system.
I recently replaced, Water pump with a "severe duty" pump from the local parts store. Also replaced the clutch fan with a matched severe duty one, replaced the old style coolant overflow bottle with a new style one, and lastly I replaced the lower rad hose and rad cap.
What I am seeing now is after parking the truck after a drive, I get some coolant splattered on the ground underneath the passenger side radiator. Coolant level seems fine in both the bottle as well as the radiator. Everything has tight clamps on it, and this only seems to happen after driving the truck.
This leak was happening before all of this work, I thought it was due to the old style of coolant bottle which I am sure was contributing to it but not the only cause. This is also a newer plastic side cap style radiator.
Anyone else experience this before? I have ran out of ideas and might just take it to a local radiator shop to be checked over.
edit: a shot of the new coolant bottle, because everyone loves pictures.
