Leaking coolant

My truck leaks coolant when I get on it. Other than that it runs fine. Why?

It's leaking from the overflow container. My friends truck does the same when he's heavy on the pedal going uphill (mountain).

How full do you keep it and does it have the updated sticker for level?

More information would be helpful.

Do you still have the tuner?

Have you had any other overboost situations? One time you posted about white smoke or steam - has this continued?

I fixed that problem already. I checked my truck and my friends truck and we both had the fluids over the new sticker minimum. we drained it to the sticker minimum and had no fluid leaks since. Thanks to all who replied. FTE Rocks Aloha,
