Default Horrible start to a weekend

Hey guys, so a week ago I took off Friday the 20th as it was my dads birthday and i was also going to the courthouse to get plates for the GP. Well anyway we had a snow storm woke up and had at least 4 inches and was still coming down steady, anyway I stupidly decided to brave it and head to west union which is 7 miles away, the highway was Horrible! there was a 6 car pile up at one point and a few other cars just sitting in the ditch, but I made it. Anyway Dads driveway was unplowed and so was grandmas, so i stupidly just went for it and made it well when I got out i noticed two lines of drips leading from where i came in one was a redish brown color the other was coolant green. So I checked and could not find the leak, later I check both the radiator and resivour tank and my coolant is the red stuff. Anyway long story short I couldnt find the leak but found out it was still dripping and the mechanic cannot get to it until monday, So I'm carles suntil probably tuesday maybe later, he said he thinks the cold may have ruined some old seals. Anyway I told him to look the whole car over while it was there and do anything nessecary and let me know

Lol random but yes hope the niners beat the ginats, and yes I hope its something simple, seems like my winter vehicles spend a lot of their time in the shop and not on the road in winter so hopefully this is not the case and its an easy fix, I also asked him to look at atire that seems to lose air awfully quick, but I think thats a bent rim so doubt there will be much luck there.

I wouldnt think so, its just very small drips but I guess you never know, If Its something major I might try and trade it in on a 2000 f150 with 65k miles

Do you like that model of F-150? I prefer the 2004+ F-150's.
