I have a very minor coolant leak. The expansion tank after months is down 3/4". I noticed the thermostat had a slight Drip nothing major and I plan to replace the gasket no biggie.
Well today I was under the truck and noticed a very small trace of coolant where the head meets the block on the drivers side. Not even enough to make a drip. Never any coolant on the ground and Everything is normal as far as temp. No overheating, no check engine light, and truck has never run better. I looked all over thinking head gasket was starting to go and or vally pan gasket. Well I used a mirror and a flashlight to look all over and came up with nothing, I do not think either is leaking.
Now for your input. Could the thermostat drip over time and run to the back of the engine to show this trace of coolant?
