Since it was red antifreeze, it looked the same color as the fuel. And with it running down from wherever it is coming from, there really isn't a smell to it even though you would think it was easy to tell the difference. Now I think it is one of the steel lines but am still unsure. I took off all of the coolers and the main bracket that supports all of them on the front of the truck and still cant quite see. I am going to try and fill some of the lines tonight and see if any of them make it leak more to narrow down which line.
It sure is difficult to diagnose a leak if you don't get some on your fingers and smell it and taste it
Diesel and coolant sure look and smell and taste way different,.
Lotta good experienced people here more than willing to help but only as good as the person being instructed to check and replace parts.
But sometimes its a "magic" leak which can be traced back to not doing basics,..
Apology needed in this case from OP inmho.

Na, it's all my fault. When he posted this picture and said it had no smell, I should have known it was coolant. (too much surface tension for fuel)
