Leak under passenger side
I moved my truck before I noticed exactly where it was coming from then after ward looked in the engine compartment. I had a puddle under the passenger side looks like the hoses going into the passenger glove box area (because I saw a few drops on them). The liquid is silvery. Any guess what fluid this is or where it might be leaking.
The antifreeze doesn't seem to be getting lower. I drove it yesterday for about 30 minutes and no crazy leaks.

That was a post where the poster changed his mind, but had to leave the prerequisite 10 characters.
You have coolant in your oil and it's blowing out the dip stick tube.

- Stop driving the truck.
- Find the source of the cross-contamination - likely the oil cooler.
- Fix the problem and change the oil at least twice to purge the contaminated oil from the injectors, rails, cooling system, filter, HPOP, etc.....

The coolant over flow I didn't open the cap I'll have to do that. Before it was redish. Attached is a picture of what the coolant looked like before the "flush chemical" and water which is in it now. This isn't coke! :-) And this bottle was sitting for weeks so whatever is in it has seperated. The bottle was sitting at an angle as well.

The grey stuff show on the first picture with the dirt smells like antifreeze mostly I think. Engine temp stayed mid way on the gauge after 30 minutes of driving.
Possibly the oil drops may be oil on the undercarriage getting into this stuff.
