Radiator leak (1 Viewer)

Had a lot of work recently done and truck ran very well for the last two months and still does today. Just this last weak radiator fluid started to come out from the pics attached. Do you think this is the water pump? It’s in the center of the truck. I’m taking to see the expert here in SA Texas just wanted to know.

60 or 62? A good chance it's the water pump. Check the weep hole. Also could be a coolant bypass hose if so equipped. I'm not familiar with the 2F setup. Fire it up and look for the source.

Thanks yeah it’s a 60. I’m pretty sure it’s the water pump. One of the things that wasn’t replaced. Had around 10k of mechanical restoration work done.

Waterpump wheep hole can go on for many miles if it is not the right time now (depends on squealing sound (=stop!) or bearing play)
Maybe tighten it a bit (but not break them),

for 60 diesel:

Repaired my radiator at a seam (drove trough Sahara with it so no big deal), then after install started leaking just a bit further so replaced with new, remember to buy the right cap then.

Maybe replace with water for this time and save the proper cooling liquid instead of loosing it, if it does not overheat or has issues:
