Coolant Leak
I have a 2005 Explorer that is leaking coolant from somewhere in the front. It only seems to be leaking when I park it in my garage and stops after the engine cools but not when I leave it outside. When I turn the vehicle off I can hear the coolant boiling from through the dash. I am thinking that it is time for a flush. If I had to guess, I would say that the reason it only leaks when parked in a heated garage is because the temps have been around anywhere from -40 to -60 up here in Alaska so when I leave it outside it cools down quick enough to where it doesn't boil out. Are these two issues related and is there anything else that could be causing it to leak?

If I read your post right you think that the coolant is boiling in the engine?
boiling coolant is never good.
I would fist check around the weep hole on the water pump.
How much coolant does it leak, how many miles on the truck
I just noticed that this is an '05 it might be better answered in the appropriate forum.
