Sounds like the water pump is going. There is a small "weep" whole toward the bottom of the pump, indication that the pump is shot.

Water pump or it is common on these trucks for the timing cover to leak. It could be running down and dripping at the pulley. Start at the top of the engine and look for wetness. Check intake area too.
