sorry for the three posts, anyway any help would be appreciated
I'm an idiot when it comes to cars but can fix most anything if I know what is wrong but cannot even find where the leak is, everything is to compact
Might be a freeze plug. If the coolant is coming from the actual engine and not dripping down from a heater core line in the firewall...then it might be a freeze plug.
Hop under with a flashlight and try to see better where it's coming from. This is important, because it could mean the difference between pulling the engine or not.
The good news, a freeze plug is easy to get to and easy to fix after an engine has been removed and you have access to it.
you need to figure out exactly where it is coming from, however it does SOUND like a freeze plug in your case
at the risk of sounding stupid, i will ask anyways: could the water not be the water/condensation from the air conditioning that leaks down after it has been used? i have seen that under other cars i have had.

Short answer: Yes it could.
If it does not look like antifreeze or smells like antifreeze, then its probably just condensation from your a/c. If it does not happen when you don't run the a/c, that should give you an idea.

i would say yes (possible, not likely) except for this post

Will drop all the water in about a mile and a half of driving and start to overheat, leaves a stream of water for friends to follow
if the truck is overheating that quickly it is loosing coolant somewhere, also the a/c condensation drip is a small slow drip not enough to leave a noticeable line on the road, have you ever been driving down the road and seen lines of water even on the most humid summer days??
