While my truck is running it does not overheat.But before i turn it on i have to fill up the rad.Then i turn it on and im good to go it doesnt over heat or anything.While im driving is not when im loosing most fluid.Its when i turn the truck off i see a stream of collant right under the serpintine belt.If i remove the radiantor cap the stream will slowly lessan and then stop saving me from having to add as much fluid the next time i start the truck.Whats broke on my truck?

I would pressure test the cooling system and see where its leaking.Possibly the water pump.
