Leaking Coolant?

So it just got "cold" here in Florida about 2 days ago..by cold I mean down in the low 40's at night. I noticed this morning that the truck had a puddle underneath it...figured it was just condensation and didn't think anything of it. Well I just went outside and there's another puddle under it. It has a slightly sticky texture and smells a little like tranny fluid...but it's clearish yellow....so I'm guessing it's Coolant. Anyone have an ideas? Truck has 133k miles on it...and my coolant in the resevoir is below "min". THanks in advance.

Where does it leave the puddle at in relation to the truck, front of the motor, back of the motor? Left or right side?

It's on the right side...a little in from the tire. Pretty much where condensation goes when you run the AC in hot weather.

EGR cooler hose. Classic leaks when it gets cooler.

I've got the same problem, can you replace the hose without pulling the turbo?
