A couple days ago I noticed decent amounts of coolant dripping from the frame in the rear right side of my truck. Where would the leak be that would cause coolest to run to the back of the truck and drip off the frame?
I'm thinking it may have something to do with the heating core or hoses on the passenger side.

Coolant line and/or fitting and/or heater core on the right rear of the vehicle if your vehicle has the rear heat feature.

If you have rear climate control all those lines run back on the right side of the frame. I have not followed them back to see how much of them are hard pipe and what has hoses but I'd suspect that is where your problem will start. The AC unit and heater cores are on the drivers side in the back. I've not paid much attention to where they cross over.

It is also possible that its dripping into the frame at the front someplace and traveling back as you drive.

Your problem is your intake manifold and it's leaking in the location where the heater hose connects to the manifold . These manifold break down after high miles going through the course of hot and cold and the will crumble and break apart allowing the gasket to squish causing this leak on the transmission bell housing. You will need to replace the manifold and the best replacement would be Dorman. Also best time the replace plugs and coils and clean up injectors

You responded to a thread in which the OP posted on Aug 24, 2016 and he hasn't been back since Aug 26, 2016.
It was his first and only post.
Do you really think he is going to read your reply??
