I have a 1995 c1500 4.3l v6 work truck. After driving with air one and it is super hot out here in vegas, I stop the truck and water will sometimes leak out not just a drip like condensation. But it has no color like a antifreeze but smells hot like radiator fluid. I just got the truck from someone and I'm not sure if they properly put fluids in. It runs great and never overheats and air is cold. What could this be?

Its hot, I can see a slight redish pink color to it now and It did a hissing sound. When your looking under the hood its on the right side that its wet and drips. Its getting worst it seems

A cooling system pressure test will help locate tis leak, this will take a mechanic about 2 Minuit's to do.
