I have a slight coolant leak. It uses about quart a week. I have heard this is a common problem with this specific auto . We have a 97 chev Pkp that does the same thing also . You can always smell antifreeze
when you get out of the vehicle. but not enough to
find the leak. Have you heard of the cause of this?
Thank You Art Bohr

Hi:

The most common problem on your truck is the intake gasket leaking coolant. Check there and let me know. Keep in mind, at times they are very hard to find.

Let me know what you find.
