Does your overflow hose run to a tank or to the ground.If it runs to the ground that's the only thing I can think of if it's not leaking anymore. If it goes to a tank then I'm with jonnymagnum that your co-worker is smoking some good stuff and isn't sharing!!

its runs to the tank. I do smell anti frezze now and then but not always. When thetruck runs it builds presser becuase after you drive it and it sits for a couple I go to remove the cap its its under presser. I think im going to check the holding tank for leaks first and the hose going to it.

I think mine is doing that as well. When I park after driving for a bit I can smell anti-freeze but I can't see any anywhere under the hood or under the truck. Although I can only smell anti-freeze when it is summer.

Get some one with a pressure tester to test for leaks

or you co worker saw condensation from the air condition, or there was a puddle under yor truck before you parked, or your co worker is smoking something

I agree with 01. I bet it is condensation from the A/C system. If it is actually antifreeze, check to see if your heater core is leaking.
