I thought I would toss this out there for anyone who thinks their rear window might be leaking but can't find where it's coming from.
A couple weeks ago, I bought a gallon of the concentrate OAT coolant (yes, I got the correct one) and mixed up 2 gallons of 50/50 mix, then I put a gallon in the plastic tray behind the seat under the rear window and stuffed a small folded blanket in front of it to keep it from moving. Two days ago (Monday) I had to use the blanket to wrap around some fluorescent light bulbs I was carrying in the bed and I didn't want to have that gallon flopping back and forth so I pulled it out to set it in the front seat for the ride. The outside of that jug was wet, and there was about 1/2 cup of liquid under it in the tray. I touched it and smelled it, but it was just water. I dried it off, mopped it up, and tested it again that night and yesterday morning it was the same. I pulled the jug, dried it off, and set in in the garage overnight and looked at it again this morning and it's dry...and there is no water in the tray behind the seat.
Short story - the jug is not leaking. The jug is condensing a lot of water out of the air in the cab of my truck and pooling in the tray but not doing it in the garage. I've carried extra coolant behind the seats of every truck I've owned and never seen this happen before. Anyone got a clue what's happening?
