02 3.9L - Big Effin' Coolant Leak
Truck has developed a MAJOR coolant leak. Only 49,000 kms.
I'm thinking its the upper hose cause I can see coolant dripping from the clamp but there is also coolant dripping from the bottom left bolt holding the water pump in - but I'm not sure if thats just leaking down from somewhere and running off.
Are there any common spots related to coolant leaks? Coolant is everywhere I can't really narrow it down.
I'm hoping its not the water pump, I don't think it is because the truck isn't overheating.
Right now the truck is not drivable.
The truck leaked probably close to an 1-2 fl oz. in about 5 mins.
Not good.

That's just it - its leaking from everywhere.
I just crawled under and loosened the clamp and pushed the hose up as far is it could go and then added a second clamp just behind the one that was on there. It leaked a ton while I did this and when I started it up coolant was still dripping this time on both clamps.
I can't see the weephole because there's the other pulley directly below the water pump pulley (don't know what that one is).
It's a huge freaking mess under there right now and like I said it cant be driven. It had a small leak 2 days ago and now its huge.
