Angry coolant loss

I bought the truck last weekend and I noticed the coolant was low. I added almost 2 gallons. The truck is a 1998 with a 4.6 l with 42000kms. There is no sign of coolant in oil and no apparent leak.

I was looking under my truck this afternoon and I noticed there was some antifreeze around the automatic tranny pan. I also noticed a steel train with some on it. What could this be?
