I saw some small drips from belly pan - yep, coolant. Checked all hoses from radiator and see wet area at lower radiator hose at radiator. I just replaced that hose a few weeks ago - I think I over tightened clamp as it won't tighten any further. Or maybe radiator is leaking?

Previous owner installed an IPD 3 row "Heavy Duty" one in 2007. Maybe it's just dying? Probably need to remove that hose to see if there's damage.

So frustrating, because I thought I had just got my cooling system in top shape!
