2018 completely stock Pro with 5000 pampered miles on it. Can you guys tell me what I'm looking at here (serpentine belt area)? A major repair? Was there a recall on this? Truck is less than 3 years old so I assume under warranty, but has not seen a dealer since I took it off the lot new. Yep, not happy about this. Thanks.

Diffidently a coolant leak...can't tell where it's coming from. Should be covered under warranty.

Water pump likely at worst or weak hose connection at best.

Yes. Can’t tell from where.

You need a clean view to determine the source. I would use a water hose to wash off the area, then drive around a bit. Then take a look--maybe you can see the leak origin. If the leak is really slow, may take a while for obvious coolant leak to appear. As another said it could be just a loose hose clamp if you are lucky--or water pump seep--no so lucky. Good luck!

Yep, I'll do that tomorrow.

If you're taking it to the dealer, I'd leave it alone. Why remove evidence that may help them determine where the leak is?

Don’t clean it. Take it in as is.

if you don't plan on replacing a water pump (at worst) or doing the repair yourself while it's under warranty, then leave that as-is and take it to the dealer. If you wash it off and its a dribble, you're going to be coming home with a new hose clamp on your first visit, or something like that.

leave the severe mess in place.

I can't believe nobody else has asked the obvious - OP, did you perhaps run over a unicorn?

Good point You (and others) have about leaving evidence if going to a dealer. I figured the OP did his own work because he had not been to a dealer since buying .

OP--If planning a dealer evaluation--certainly leave the mess as is. Good luck

Well crap....
Didn't read these replies this morning and went ahead and cleaned it up. Topped off the reservoir (it was empty), checked the radiator (it was full) drove around for awhile and checked it. Not a drop. I'll just keep a close eye on it for now. Did not really want to take it to a dealer unless I know what the cause is so I can ensure they will not screw with me. I have till early next year under warranty.
Thanks for the replies.
