"Mystery" Puddle
Well, not a puddle yet but definitely losing fluid. 2005 Ram 3500 diesel 82K miles. Fluid (does not appear to be engine oil, power steering fluid or ATF) is dripping off the backside of the crankshaft...

The plot thickens. Yes, Cummins 12v, the coolant reservoir level is down. I added a 1/2 gallon of distilled water to it yesterday. The stains I noticed yesterday were directly under the front of the block, this morning the 'puddle' is directly under the water pump; guess it's enough of a leak while running it's slinging coolant all over the place. Contacted the local Ram stealership, predicatbly not a cheap repair, but I'm not feeling good about getting on the Interstate to drive it to my mechanic in Orlando, and not interested in paying to give the truck a 'ride' there. If the dumb thing let go at 70 and puked all the coolant out I'd be very sad...........
