[QUOTE="Ruger, post: 1475976, member: 1594"] Look for any coolant residue around the gooseneck thermostat housing. My GEN1 began to leak there because the gooseneck is cast aluminum, the surface that seals to the radiator hose became corroded and pitted, and that broke the seal against the hose. Also, the spring fittings that the factory uses (vice screw-type hose clamps) are always suspect. Check every place they are used. I never found drops of coolant on he garage floor under my truck, either, and locating the source took a good deal of crawling under the truck with good lighting and standing on my head in the engine compartment. Try harder. You'll find it. Chances are that it only leaks when hot and only a little, so airflow through the engine compartment and under the truck is blowing away most of the free liquid. [/QUOTE]
