What to do about coolant leak 5.0
Recently my truck has developed a small coolant leak ( coolant pooling under the waterpump,overflow level dropping ect.) I took the truck into my selling dealer and they determined it has no leak. After forcing them to find it,they agreed to keep the truck a few days and look. I know it is leaking,but if they say they can't find it what is my recourse? Truck has 20k on it. I can find it but I have a warranty.

Sounds like your waterpump seal is compromised. If they cant find it, take it to another dealer.

Thanks everyone for the help and good advice. I will give the present dealer a little more time to solve the problem first before seeking recourse.I always owned Ford products,as I really like them with the exception of my dealership expierences have been poor.

I'm here to help, yotehunter! Tothemax gives sound advice by suggesting to visit a second dealer for another opinion; use this tool to locate one nearby. Then, please send me a private message with your full name, VIN, new servicing dealership, and best daytime contact number; I'll get this escalated to the regional customer service manager for your area.
You're right, Tothemax! Getting a second opinion is the best next step in this situation. Thanks for the advice; it's greatly appreciated!
