every morning I walk out theres a decent sized amount of coolant that leak from my truck somewhere, best description is it seems to be coming from above the starter motor dripping off the tranny lines, I've check heater lines, block heater, upper and lower rad hoses and t-stat housing, what are symptoms of headgasket leak, radiator is few months old not leaking:dunno

could be a headgasket leak. doubt it with 75k miles but anythings possible. any overheating problems? any water in oil or oil in water? take some degreaser and start cleaning around where the block and heads meet and see if anything seeps out around the seams.

nope no overheating problems and no water in oil or oil in the radiator, truck has not worked hard as many others on here, never pulled more than 9k lbs, main work its done is plowing

get some uv dye and go after it. thats the best way. And remember, just cause its new dont mean it works.
