Do you have sweet smelling white smoke? What does the dip stick look like, frothy / milky? Losing coolant with no leaks is normally a head gasket leak.

Could be a blown head gasket and the coolant is being vaporized in the cylinder.

No leak loosing coolant

I check the dipstick moment ago the oil looks clear. I did see any signs of water mixed with oil when I replaced the oil last week. I'll try to keep it running for few minutes and see if I can find where it'l leaking from because I don't see any puddle under the truck at all. FYI, I had the truck running yesterday and notice water leaking from the end of the muffler, not from the tail pie but from the muffler. Could it be the thing you guys mentioned of a blown head gasket? Is it replaceable? Thank you again for all the help.

I am still looking for pictures of the vacuum hose , gray and black, set up on 05 Expedition from the firewall to the heater valve and or to the vacuum lines by the battery. Thank you all

Richard

Coolant leak

I saw coolant leaking under the wheel well passenger side kinda on the lower area. See attached. Any idea where this is coming from? Can't see of feel any wet area on the hose attached to the coolant reservoir. Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

" I did see any signs of water mixed with oil when I replaced the oil last week." I mean I did not see any sign of water mixed with the oil when I changed it last week.

Any chance it's washer fluid and not coolant?
