coolant droplets...

I just traded off my 7.3 for a 2005 f250 6.0 i got the truck home last night came out this morning to check the oil and noticed about 5 or 6 drops on the degas bottle... wiped them off drove very gently for a while no new drops. then pulled on the highway and ran it to the floor to 75 mph slowed down and did it again and checked and once again a few small drops of anti freeze on the bottle... btw the level is a tad low when running... im starting to get nervous and regret buying this truck somebody let me know if theyve had the same problems and if it could just be the cap with a few drops like i said....

Run your truck with the level (when cold and depressured) at the minimum line on your degas bottle. Install a new degas bottle cap - Ford updated the design somewhat.

Keep an eye on the level, but expect it to fluctuate. It is a pressurized system - including the degas bottle. Hoses and such will expand and contract (as well as some volume expansion and contraction with temperature changes) - therefore the level will fluctuate.

thanks for the reply my other question is do you think this is something serious or are these small drops common on these trucks ive read alot about puking antifreeze but nobody says much about small amounts.... i just bought the truck yesterday and comtemplating on taking it in to a dealer monday to have things checked out because it doesent have much remaining warranty...
