Slow antifreeze leak
I've got a small antifreeze leak that I'm not positive where it's coming from. I smell it everytime I park the truck. I found antifreeze on the spark plug wire on the passenger side, closest to the firewall. I did a search and alot of people seem to have a problem with the water pump gaskets, but I don't think the antifreeze could travel all that way without leaving a trail on something else. Only place I see it is on the spark plug wire and that primary for that cylinder. Any ideas? Thanks for your help.

ive had experience with almost every brand of vehicle ive worked on where the coolant reservoir will develop cracks. when the system heats up, it bleeds out. but then again i do live in extreme conditions, 110 + consistently in the summer.

I wasn't sure if it would be a head gasket. I am going to be swapping out my headers, so I thought if that were the case, I'd change those. I'll have to check out those things. Thanks for the help.

if it was a head gasket more than likely youd have white smoke billowing out the tailpipe.
