With that many miles it might be the water pump, hard to see without a mirror and flash light.
I crawled under it a few minutes ago and did find a drip of anti freeze at the base of the fan shroud so there is a leak somewhere. I am going out in a few minutes and start removing the upper shroud so I can get a better look.

I had a leak

I have '93 F150 and had a leak in my radiator. I picked up a bottle of radiator sealant and it worked great. I've had no trouble with mine leaking since. That was in autumn of '05. Also where is that boat elevator in that picture on your page with the hot rods located. It looks awesome.

Once I removed the fan shroud I believe I found my problem. At the top of the radiator passenger side I found signs of a small leak. There was a dried up rusty water line going down inside the shroud. I will head to the bubble pack store this morning and get a can of stop leak along with a new serpentine belt. Hopefully that will cure me.

The boat elevator is somewhere in Europe as is this pictured water bridge. Question for you engineering students. When this water bridge was designed did the engineers have to take into account just the weight of the water or the combined weight of the water and the boats?
