Just noticed a pile of coolant sitting underneath the truck. It looks like it's dripping on the front of the motor in the middle onto the plastic wannabe skid plate/dust cover which would lead me to believe water pump but I'm no mechanic. Truck has 130,000 miles and this is the first I've seen of it. Don't think it's headgasket related. Any quick and easy way to tell for sure what the problem is? It's been coldish here in Texas so no overheating issues or low coolant lights so far. Hopefully if it is waterpump related it won't lock up on me and leave me stranded....
 
waterpump, pull the skid plate and look up from the bottom you will likely see it dripping.
 
Gonna do that after lunch - we put a pressure tester on it last night but couldn't pinpoint the leak. It's def running down the lower radiator hose.
