is anyting leaking? Is your antifreeze level going down? Check under the dash, pull back the carpets under both the driver and the passenger fott areas, anything wet? Could be a leak outside and just be a hose. Let me know. Thanks!

ALSO MIGHT LOOK UNDERNEATH YOUR RIG IN THE FIREWALL AREA
IT COULD BE LEAKING INTO THE A/C CATCH PAN AND BE DRIPPING OUT THE A/C DRAIN ONTO THE GROUND
A FEW WELL PLACED PAPER TOWELS MIGHT SHOW THE COLOR OF YOUR COOLANT
I HAVE SEEN HEATER HOSE CLAMPS NOT BE TIGHT ENOUGH AND THE HEATER HOSES LEAK RADIATOR JUICE AGAINST THE HEATER CORE AND RESEMBLE THE SYMPTOMS OF A CORE LEAK
KEEP US INFORMED
