Antifreeze Leak

Antifreeze Leak

I looked under my truck and noticed a Antifreeze Leak I looked under the truck and noticed the antifreeze leaking around the crank shaft. I have never seen a leak from that area. I haven't pulled anything yet I was just wondering if anyone had something similar that could point me in a good direction before I start pulling parts off.

I looked up top didn't see any hoses leaking. looked all around the block. the only place I can see it coming from is behind the crank shaft pulley somewhere.

2001 F150 XLT 4X4

I'd bet it's coming from a hose above somewhere and trickling down the engine, by the way..... what engine is it? If its not a 5.4 I cannot help.

Yes the motor is a 5.4l. I looked at the entire top of the block and hoses again. I didn't see a trace of fluid.

In the meantime I'll look at mine and see if I can come up with something and get back later.

Looked at the engine (5.4) and I'd look at the water pump, that would be my guess since I had a similar situation on a 5.0. There is a drain hole in the bottom of the pump and when a seal goes you get e drip or worse and its directly above the crank.
Good Luck
