Coolant leak
Started the truck this morning, looked down and had a small coolant drip. Looks like its another cold weather water pump replace. If it turns out to be the water pump, this damn thing isn't even a year old

That was actually my first guess Jose, but nothing in the degas bottle. Does that go bad at the oil cooler itself or somewhere else in the system? I'll go over it more either tonight or tomorrow

Napa, thats what I'm worried about. It looks like there is a small amount of weeping coming from the sensor to the left of the t stat housing. I had a rough day today so I only glanced at it and started drinking, trying to set my mind elsewhere

Finally got around to looking for my leak. Turns out the upper radiator hose is bad where it meets the tstat housing and has a slight drip. At least it's cheap and easy
