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?

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