Rushing out the door i noticed little drop spots of antifreeze lo and behold i crouch down and notice there was a leak. Having replaced the Water pump along with thermostat a few years ago i have discounted also. Also about two years ago replaced the gasket water pump etc. Now before i go nuts where should i look. at first glance saw by the front right side of the truck the drip stains along with some antifreeze. This was the first day i saw it so probably just starting. Any ideas btw its a 2000 5.9 4x4 ext cab

 

I would look up under the truck to see maybe if the leak is coming from the weep hole on the water pump, it could have gone bad. I would also check the hoses, radiator andanything else that is in the cooling system tomake sure that nothing else is leaking also.

 

also check your rad petcock

 

get a bottle of radiator stop leak before you start tearing through the engine

 

Don't put this crap in there. It is a pita to clean out and just a bandaid for your problem. I wouldn't risk putting it in there. Just find the problem and have it fixxed.

 

Check the front of the motor, it could be leaking from the thermostat neck

 

thank you hometheaterman

 

Thanks after all this suspicion it is the water pump starting to go, going to replace it and do the plenum while im in there tstat and so on. Thanx for the help, i tried the stop leak on a chevy never would i try on the dodge lol
