98 EX loosing coolant externally

[markland]

My Explorer is loosing coolant and resevoir will start to lower but does so very slowly and can smell burning coolant when I park the truck. Have looked all over and cannot find the leak or where it is coming from. Washed the engine bay yesterday and lot's of green tinted fluid was flushed out from lower front part of engine/radiator area and whatever that big rubber like cowling is on the bottom of the radiator area. The leak appears to be too slow to notice and not enough to run out of the truck when sitting and idling nor pool under truck when parked as well? Any ideas?

Look through the pictures and you will see why you need to change the radiator. New hoses ,radiator cap and a thermostat would be a good idea also.

Thanks Turdle and Joe, will look into that as well, guess the V-6 will be similar but I have the book for it anyway. Just need to remove that stupid guard thing under the radiator and I am sure I will be able to find the leak. Thanks
