    Hi. My husband owns a 2004 Western Star. Now that the weather is cooling off and he is not having to run the truck at night, he is noticing it is leaking antifreeze overnight (at least a cupful). It only does this overnight when the truck is not running. The truck has a new radiator and has had the spigots replaced on the water pump. Do you have any idea why this might be happening? Thanks for any answers we might get.

    We called this "a cold water leak", and he should tighten all hose clamps.

    If he knows its leaking, then he should be able to see where from... no ?
