Well heres the situation, few weeks ago low coolant light came on, added coolant, no problem. Checked it about a week later and it was low, not low enough to enable the light. so i added. Well i ended up adding a little bit more yesterday. So from the research i've been doing, I don't have hard coolant hoses, i am not holding pressure in the overflow a day later, i am not puking coolant, i don't see visible leaks on the ground, i don't smell any coolant, from engine, cab, or exhaust. No smoke. I checked oil yesterday, not milky, seemed fine. Pulled oil fill cap and there was condensation, so i tested it. Indeed it was sweet tasting. What are some possibilities? I was thinking seals on water pump? Someone had mentioned cracked heads? Any help would be great.

This is my first diesel and i have only had it for about a month.

How was the oil level I would think if you have put that much coolant into fill the over flow your oil level would go up if it is leaking into the oil system. Unless its leaking into the cylinders a little bit under heavy boost and your geting it in there through blow by.
Fill out you sig so we know what you have done to the truck.
