2017 R/T - any known issues for slow coolant leak?

jc598g · Dec 8, 2019

I have a very slow coolant leak - no immediate evidence on garage floor or based on quick visual inspection of hoses and radiator. The only signs of the leak are the smell of coolant after turning off truck and a very slow drop in the overflow tank level. Actually, I believe this leak has existed in some form since I purchased the truck with 11K miles as I've always thought I had detected a faint smell of coolant, but has only worsened to a visible overflow drop recently. The truck now has 46K miles.

Any known issues or TSBs that I should know about before bringing to the dealer next week?

Thanks in advance,
James

I agree. Just wanted to throw that out there for another angle on coolant. Maybe the different plants were using up what they had on hand before updating. I wonder if the pink coolant is speced at the 150K/10 yrs like the purple is?

I have a 2014 that came off the line in Oct 13' and it was orange.

Just to update on coolant color. At 150k dealer did a flush and fill and put the same orange it had from the factory. It's at 175k now and no radiator issues.
