Coolant leak

I just installed a programer and have bein using it for two days now. I got under the truck to install some gauges and saw coolant all over the front axle, front driveshaft, and other parts. Any ideas? It has never done this before.

Thanks guys

Make sure the level in the top tank is at the minimum when the engine is cold, no higher. If it isn't suck it out with a baster. My only problem was a leak in the lower hose under the tape which was there to hold the upper plastic protector from slipping down. Warrante fix. A friend's '03 6.0 leaked from the water pump @ 3000 miles fixed and not back after 20,000. Good Luck
