Hello ALL, 1st post in some time. I have a problem
This is a 2003 Lariat SuperCrew with FX4 package and a 5.4L V8 with 200,000+ miles (all mine). The system was flushed and refilled with 50/50 distilled water and concentrate mid Winter last year. I did notice a bit of coolant along the frame back in the Summer after a trip to the beach but, subsequent checks showed no further sign. Recently I have noticed a spot of coolant on the driveway under the driver side front corner just inside the fenderline and in front of the front wheel. The coolant appears to come from around the recovery tank and spray onto the air filter housing and down the radiator support and along the frame. According to the temperature gauge the temp is normal. There is no leak apparent with the engine at idle or with it being revved from the TB. There are no sounds of leaking pressure or gurgling in the system and there is pressure when I take the cap off even the next morning. I have washed everything down a couple of times and checked and rechecked the hoses and clamps appear to be fine. I thought the cap might be failing under pressure and replaced it. After a couple of short trips I thought I had fixed the problem but, after a longer trip (10 miles) the leak came back. My mechanical skills are above average and I like to fix my own problems but, if I can't get a couple of ideas here might run her in to the dealer. UGGGHHH. ANY HELP 
would appreciated.
