04 5.3 coolant leak
I can smell coolant after driving my truck when I get out of it. I have been standing on my head under the hood trying to find it, but have had no luck so far. Does not seem to be any on the groud when I park. Anyone have an idea where it's comming from?
Thanks for your help.

It usually comes from the water pump gaskets. It's almost impossible to catch it leaking. $15 for gaskets. They're easy to replace, just do it,and then watch your coolant level never change again.
