    Leaking from here, a slow Coolant drip when cold and stops when Truck is warm. This a freeze plug? What’s the fix. Responses and experiences much appreciated.

    If coolant its leaking its more likely coming from the oil cooler o ring above it. Very common. You can reseal the front without pulling the cooler.

    It is coolant. That’s good to know seems like The large Cooler o-ring is the culprit.
