Took my 2013 F150 5.0 in the other day for a coolant flush. I have never had any issues with the truck, just always stuck to the regular maintenance. I now have coolant leaking onto the floor when it’s parked. I haven’t had much time to crawl underneath and trace it back, but maybe someone here can give me some insight on where I should be looking.

Didnt leak before coolant flush, now leaks. I looked underneath truck quickly and it seems to be dripping from the bottom of bell housing, so it must be running along the engine somewhere. Where do they disconnect lines to hook in the machine to flush?

Usually hooks into the heater hoses.... take it back where it was done and have them look. :)

Thanks for the advice Ric. I youtube it and diagnosed it myself. Pulled the skid plate and could see it leaking from a tee. $90 bucks at Ford and Im back to 100%, was less hassle than going back to the shop and having them screw me around.
