I have a 2017 Ram 1500 with the 6 cyl engine. I have noticed coolant puddling on my floor mats (rubber) and saw it dripping through the interior trim and down. It is not hot but ambient temperature. Where could this leak be coming from. The reservoir was empty, that's how i figured out it was coolant. Thanks for any input.

Is this coming from the passenger side? If so. I'm better heater core. Hopefully just 1 of the hoses is cracked

Heater core... Your radiator runs antifreeze through there for your heat. That core is on the passenger side under the dash.

It's a ***** to replace... Though costly, it's better to hire someone.

Actually I've seen a few YouTube videos of people removing the dash from the 4th gen ram. It really doesn't seem that difficult.

Yeah its gonna be a ***** hauling that massive ***** of plastic. But removal and installation actually look pretty easy
