Here lately I have been adding a bit of coolant. I cannot seem to find a hose leak. What might be causing this slow leak to be happening, and where should I look etc...

look around your water pump see if it is coming out the weep hole

It could be quite a bit of things. Any sign of any coolant on the ground?

no sign of coolant on the ground....but i do sometimes smell coolant when I stop after its been running for a while...makes me think leaky hose, but i cant find a freakin leak...im gonna look at the water pump tomorrow. the truck currently has 152k on it.....

Take it to a repair shop. They can put a pressure tester on it where they out pressure on the system and see if it leaks.

Id agree with the water pump. It could be leaking out a little bit and burning up on the motor so you dont see any fluid

repair shop called me back, looks like a hose up on top of the engine somewhere, total cost 150 bucks.....its better than me having to do it, but 150 bucks for some rubber stinks!

a $150 rubber can save thousands of dollars for kids toys.. :rof

on further inspection at the shop with the repair guy it was the hose coming off the main coolant hose pipe thing going somewhere else ...possibly the turbo...

What the hell? Thats a big difference! When will they have it figured out?

 

[timharry]

its figured out, hose replaced, and not leaking anymore. I'm ready to pull my trailer and buddy's jeep out of town tomorrow to film our a TV show. with a little luck, my duramax will be pullin some jeeps all around the country this summer... should help to pay it off pretty quick...

I don't think I have a coolant leak, but I have a stupid LOW COOLANT light come on every so often? By sensor or a leak?
