2014 1500 with the hemi The dealer told me that it was engine oil pooled up below the filter after my last change, lol (but not really) Engine bay smells like a coolant. I have been presented with a 2005 hemi 5.7 (its in a 300, but truck forums usually have better help) that is leaking coolant near the front of the engine on the driver's side The entire water pump is dry, dry, dry I have looked at pictures online and the coolant appears to be leaking from where the timing cover bolts to the block.
A commonly reported ram 1500 problem is an engine coolant leak See the most common causes of the problem and how to diagnose the problem. I have a small coolant leak (just drops at a time, and not enough to drop my coolant levels any in less than a week or two) that i can't seem to track down I notice it running down the passenger side of the block/water pump I thought maybe it was the water pump gasket, but after a closer look. 53013736aa, these are priced as one
