So the other day driving home I was getting on the highway and had to floor it to get past a car that wouldnt get over and was blocking me from getting on the highway. Right after i did so i smelled antifreeze really strongly but had no smoke or anything coming from the vents. After i got home i parked it and went inside for a bit. When i came back out to leave i saw a huge pile of radiator fluid on the drivers side near the pedals and a good sized leak coming from under the passenger side near where the starter is. Today I looked underneath and can see a loose hose above the exhaust shield (?) thats nearly inaccessible. After running the truck a bit I could tell that its definitely leaking from that hose, only problem is i cant figure out where that hose might go to. I'm wondering if anyone knows where it might belong, or if a simple bypass in the engine bay might solve the problem for now so i can use my truck again. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

 

Did you look on top? Hoses for bad. One is on the front side of intake the other is on back on intake both on passage side. A good spot to look is behind alt the the coolant passage between the heads some intakes are plastic they go bad.

 

Its not leaking up top, its leaking from the hose in the picture. the hose is clipped down right where the transmission cooler lines go, but i cant seem to find anything that it might plug in to.

 

The picture is really hard to see what it is. Sorry. Can you get better ones?
