I saw I had no coolant left in my reservoir.. I popped the radiator cap off and started putting in coolant and water started coming out from under the vehicle.. I started up the truck and kept pouring coolant into it to better determine where it was coming out at and I was hearing a sucking slurping noise. I don’t know if it is a water pump or something else.. but I need to have someone pour coolant in while I’m underneath. I can’t pour and get underneath fast enough.

If the trans cooler line is leaking water, you've got really big issues, like water in the trans.

I couldn’t correctly determine where it was coming from previously because of water spewing everywhere.
