Hey guys, went on a short trip with my sled to go riding (not enough snow where I live but trails were open 1 hr 20 mins away.)

Anyway took a 25' aluminum cargo trailer to carry my sled and all was well. Truck sat for a couple days with the trailer attached at home (only 1 day trip) and today noticed there was antifreeze dripping on the snow below it. It was running down the exhaust pipes from the cats on either side. There wasn't much dripping but I'm thinking that definitely shouldn't be happening.

Put the trailer away today and my truck is parked. Tomorrow I'll see if it is still leaking. Has anyone else had this issue or something similar? I went easy with the trailer on because the roads were pretty bad, so that's not the cause.

Definitely shouldn't be leaking to the ground.
Yeah, more or less looking for something to tell the dealer to look at first lol. I've got no idea where it's coming from!

Take a peek at it to take it to the dealer. They'll pressure test it and find out where it's coming from.

There are quite a few places coolant can leak. There is no way to say without seeing.

Just tell the dealer you found coolant under the truck. They'll know what to do. If not, find another dealer. LOL

I dont know for sure but ive gone through 2 radiators on one year and mine was loosing fluid all the time with a new rad. But Dodge told me my cap was not holding the 18lbs recommended. Still looking for the source of the problem. But at least have it looked at by dodge now.
