Lower radiator hose leaking at clamp.

[Win Seeker]

Took my skid plate off and noticed some dried up fluid pooled at the rear passenger side of the skid plate, looked up at it looks to be coming from the clamp on the lower radiator hose. I assume it's coolant. Trucks a 2017, any ideas?

Truck doesn't run hot at all either, multiple 200-300 mile trips and all temps are moderate throughout.

You can see this hose from the passenger wheel well if you're willing to get your head in there. Alternatively, there may be a puddle on your skid plate like there was on mine, which would also be viewable without a lift. GL!

thats just a little oil from your intercooler hose. Tighten the clamp.

Thanks for the response, clamp seemed pretty tight but i'll give it another shot.

Maybe pull it off, clean the oil, reseat, and reclamp it? You dont want any boost leaks.

You may have been right, I took a flat head to it and it turned a bit. I'll re check it in a few days and go from there.

I would throw a constant torque clamp on there if that loosens back up. Those standard worm gear clamps tend to loosen up over a handful of thermal cycles.
