Hey everyone


After noticing a small /almost dry puddle of red liquid( most probably coolant) under the passenger side of the truck , crawled under and observed water droplets coming through the frame near the passenger wheel side.
It seems the leak stops after turning the engine off.

Used a spot light to trace the leak, but all hoses seam bone dry along with expansion tank filled to max line.

Any input is appreciated.

Will check with the local dealer since I couldn't locate the leak precisely .
Here is what I found.

I just upgraded my radiator and found it had been leaking. Full Race radiator is really nice!

There still would have been evidence of a leak path present with coolant residue...it's unacceptable that they gave it back to you without performing further diagnosis. Leaks are not intermittent; adding dye to the cooling system and pressure testing it would have revealed the leak without question. That is very poor customer service from that dealer; I would take it to a different dealer if possible.
