Well I've got some kind of coolant leak somewhere. For a couple days I was smelling coolant occasionally with the heat on or off. Last night I could smell it on my way home and when I stopped at a closed gas station to use my credit card for gas, I shut the truck off. While pumping I saw steam coming from under the hood on the passenger side by the windshield. I popped the hood and got my flashlight. By then the steam had stopped. Nothing looked wet back by the firewall but I did see evidence of dripping on the ground directly under the firewall and maybe a little towards the rear. The passenger floor was dry. I tried to see where the heater core hoses went into the firewall, but I think what I was looking at was the air conditioner lines. I couldn't see anything wet or dripping, so I decided to drive the mile I still had to get home. I parked in front of my house and popped the hood and jumped out quick, hoping to catch some steam, but there wasn't any.
Other than the smell, it was running fine and my gauges never went out of their normal positions.
Is there a common leak point back there somewhere? I probably won't get a chance to look at it until this weekend, so it will just sit until then.
