I did search and haven't come across the particular situation ..
So for the last two days each time I get in my rig to go anywhere once I park and turn off the engine my coolant overflow box will start to drip the same amount each time ...here's a pic sorry it just got dark but each of the two lil puddles in the pic is two seperate times as you can see just about the same amount and it will continue to do so even when it has dripped out the overflow empty ...

Any help would be great since I have a Death Valley week long thanksgiving trip coming up!!! Can't have this going on out there, no way.

Can you see where it is coming from in the engine bay? Just the overflow or hose or fitting? Was the resevoir overfilled? Does it overheat at all?

Coming from just the overflow hose itself that's it ...no over heating. No overfilled ...none of that.

But my answer was found and issue resolved thanx to [MENTION=137652]jfry008[/MENTION] and the attached link he posted. It was neither of the comments /ideas he posted neither, I found it in his link where one guy made a comment in a kinda ..was that a serious idea or a joke. But he said " check to see if the hoses on the overfill cap are switched around" .. and his comment went ignored.
So l checked everything like your supposed to and nothing...so I thought what the heck I will switch the hoses around and see if that does anything ...and walla!!!!
I was blown away ...

What exactly did you swap around? Pic?
Did you swap the short overflow hose with the long hose in the tank?
