Radiator question

I have an 05, F-350. My question is do they have a freeze plug? I am in north Dakota when I went to start it, it began smoking from the engine compartment. I popped the hood and found anti-freeze all over the front end of the truck. No where near the engine, just around the radiator. Any suggestions?

No freeze plug in the radiator. Just a plastic to metal crimp. If it isn't a hose hate to say it but probably the radiator.

check ur upper radiator hose. it's by the driver side of the radiator, and the other end plugs into the thermostat. i had a worm clamp break on me, and it started leaking over the hose and under it. made quite a mess since i had to rev on the motor.

can u also take a pic and post it up pls?

Thanks for the info. I will be looking at it tomorrow and will try to get some pics, if my phone will cooperate. -50* weather doesn't agree with my phone. 😉
